Thank you Mike. I might just provide worksheet for them to look at.

The silly thing is, they have known about this defect for 9 months, but it was given a low priority. 9 months later it damages our car, and the council denies they were aware the road was dangerous.

I suspect they will just pay up when we write - the total amount is only about $200 is US terms, so hardly worth their while arguing.
