Council appear to have sprayed a jet of some weed and grass killer

there's any antidote, particularly now it shows up quite clearly?
Probably happened a couple of weeks ago -- I noticed an area last
week which wasn't very green and watered it. By this week, it's
very clear from the pattern of the dead area exactly what's happened,
a dead spray shaped area with a sharp cutoff caused by the gate post.
Also, it's dying at the same rate as the weeds on the pavement.

While cutting the grass verge, the council dented my father's car with
their mowing machine. He eventually got compensation about 6 months
later without involving any lawyers. They'll probably pay up but it
might take some time!
