To think the council should fix this?

[beetty]

My front door and the frame don't join together properly so it's absolutely freezing in my house.
The drafts are so bad.
They have been out today and say nothing they can do.
Can I have your opinion?
Or advice what I can do please?
It's so cold

Have they said why?

I would ask them to review this. Tell them your heating bills are higher and ask what their suggestions are. It might be that they suggest stuff like a curtain to block draughts but at least they will look into your case again.

They just said they couldn't do anything about it,only put something on the bottom of my door (where no drafts come )

I would suggest a curtain to pull across. The gap doesn't look significant enough for them to do anything.

Looks like a pretty standard door frame.

As others have said if it’s a problem then a curtain across should help

Shouldn't the door and frame actually meet without the gap?
The workmen did say how freezing it was

Why won’t they fix it? Did they say?

They said they couldn't budget a new front door but I assumed some sort of filler or sealant might help (I'm not sure tbh what could help )

If it just needs sealant are you allowed to do it yourself?

Ask whether it'll pass a fire safety test.

(It won't)

Why wouldn’t it pass a fire safety test?

Get a door curtain.

There needs to be a little gap or the door would stick badly in hot weather .
You can get some draught excluder stuff that you attach to the edges of doors which might help

Is it a wooden door?
You can buy draught excluder strips not sure how much difference it would make.
Basically you need a upvc door but they tend to do that kind of stuff as a roll out on a whole estate as they get them cheaper when buying in bulk.
Problem at the moment is councils don't have any money.
Discuss with your housing officer and then next step would be tenants association if you have one and contact your local councillor

This stuff will work.. x

doesnt look like an unusual gap to me...sorry not helpful but doors aren't completely sealed to the frame when closed (she says looking at every door in close proximity)

Draught excluder tape like this is good - Pound shop often has it, plus a curtain

You want the stick on foam ribbon to put round the door.

I’ve just looked at my own wooden door, the gap between the door and frame is wider that that in your photos. They can’t sit completely flush, there will naturally be a very small gap.

Oh yeah pumkin has a point. You don’t want to seal the gap then it get stuck in summer. Put a curtain in front of it

Sorry but I agree with PP looks like an ordinary fitting wooden door to me? Wooden doors are draughtier than PVC ones though.

Why wouldn’t it pass a fire safety test?

No intumscent sealing, poor fit in the frame

Only relevant if it goes into any sort of shared area though tbf but maybe worth a try

Draught excluder tape is the phrase I couldn't remember.

There is always a small gap on a wooden door and frame or, as a previous poster says, there isn't room for natural expansion and contraction with changing conditions.

As an external door, fire safety won't help you much as you would only be opening it to exit.

Draught excluders or an old-fashioned curtain are the answer. There's a reason they existed.

Is that door opening directly into a living space e.g. kitchen or living room. If not, just keep the adjoining door closed and let the corridor or porch be cold.

draught tape and some small pins to keep it in place
