what did they say? and did they care????

smeeinit · 18/09/2007 13:54

i rang the council and gave all the details,she was shocked,and rightly so,and apoligised.
she is giving all the details to the supervisor.
i told her i will be expecting a phone call from the supervisor and a letter of aploigy from said jumped up little snot bucket..

That is outrageous. I work for a local authority and they be able to find out EXACTLY who he is because their collection rounds are all laid out. Put it writing as well, and make it clear that if you do not get a reply detailing what has been done about your complaint that you will be contacting the local paper and your councillor....trust me, that will get something done, because the councillors give the people who work at the council real grief, so they do anything to avoid a run in with them!

sparklesandwine · 18/09/2007 13:56

lol

thats the least you could expect think they should let you off you council tax for that one!

smeeinit · 18/09/2007 14:00

sparkles, think i have more chance of being bitten by a lettuce than being let of my c.tax!!!!

derlor · 18/09/2007 17:55

WTF do we actually pay CT for anyway???? bloody bins being emptied every 2nd farkin week - is that it??? (oh yeah and snotty men on our gardens in your case!)

smeeinit · 18/09/2007 20:47

smeeinit · 19/09/2007 10:09

Smee - that's outrageous. Definitely consider complaining to your councillor, as yummy says, this results in grief given to council staff.

But to derlor - your council tax pays for road repairs, libraries, leisure centres, parks, care for old folks, physcially disabled and mentally ill, foster care for kids who need it,and some contribution towards police and fire. A bit more than bins then .
