Once upon a time.... Council offices tend to advance the stamp indicating the arrival of documents at the point that the office officially closes (e.g. at 4pm the stamp is advanced to the next day even if there are people capable of dealing with it and documents continue to arrive within the department) work may be still carried out on the paperwork *but* officially the document didn't arrive until the date of the timestamp. I'm saying this right or still happens but this (for many, many years) was SOP.
