Freehold means you own the land. Leasehold means you rent the land.
No, it doesn't. It means you have property rights for a fixed period, which is not the same thing.

I think I'll defer to @danstuff here

What the fixed period for the title to freehold land then?
As for leaseholds, a lease can either be a fixed term tenancy (technically 'a term of years') or it can be a periodic tenancy which automatically renews until terminated by a notice to quit, so a leasehold interest doesn't necessarily have a fixed period either, including a statutory periodic tenancy which comes into existence on the expiry of an assured tenancy.
So, what's this fixed period?

Yep, none of that is too surprising. Undoubtedly part of the poor service is due to budget cuts, part of it does seem to be "you have no other option" though. Probably linked to the fact that it's pretty much a one-party council, has been for years and will be for the foreseeable future.
