I'd have said £120k to £150k for the EA including all surveys and permits.
Could be 'done on the cheap' for no more than £5k by a competent operator spreading silt on site is my guess.

Do you not understand? If the EA do the job properly, 25 people are employed on high wages contributing a huge amount to the economy. After all the surveys and assesments Jack would have been given the job after a prolonged tendering which he probably priced at x thousand as he does not want to faff about for these ****ers
As it is Jack has been sent down there with his 15 tonne machine earning a couple of grand a month and what has the economy gained apart from a a few packets of sarnies from the local garage? And he was probably working on red.
You must keep up at the back!

This is why there are advocates for changing how economic activity is measured.

When four chaps working for a firm 200 miles away who won the tender to do some local EA work rock up and then they have to wait half a day for another chap who is the only one with the chainsaw cert and not one of them realises they have put the stile in upside down you know the worlds f###ed

Didn't Henry Williamson ("Tarka the Otter") write about spending a summer remodelling a river that Nature put back into it's original shape during the first winter?

I used to believe in the adage " never attribute to malice, what you can attribute to incompetance", but I can't help but think they're doing this shite on purpose.

By “damage” do they mean “maintenance”?
