"Awful service"

As it suits them but not the tax payers even when they have to rectify their mistakes.

They didn't collect my bin (and this happens sooooo many times). Their reply: You can only report a missed collection after 4pm on the day of your collection and by 4pm the next working day. We will then collect your waste or recycling within 2 working days. So basically you're on shift or away and reply as soon as as you get home, unfortunately here 2h30 out of the short 24h window they give you. Buuuut, if you reply within the time given, they do get 48h to come back to do the job they was supposed to do in the 1st place.

My recycling bag goes missing on collection day. Their answer to this issue: Go and pick one that is out of your way oh and it has to be during your working hours.

They are just interested in the tax we pay and have only solutions for people that don't work and/or have family nearby to help them.

Even that review won't make any difference, clearly, or they would start caring about people, and work hard to change things for the better and get their rating here much better.

"I never thought I would ever write a…"

I never thought I would ever write a five star review about my local council. I had bad experiences with the highways department in the past.
However…
This time round they were fantastic about damage to my car in roadworks. They were quick, helpful, empathetic. My issue was resolved really quickly.

"Absolutely shambolic organisation"

Absolutely shambolic organisation. Council tax bill of £438.71 came through the post today despite payment taken via direct debit every month. Seeking legal advice.

"A pointless council who think it's…"

A pointless council who think it's acceptable for the roads in the forest of Dean to have pot holes and uneven surfaces. Coalway road is a disgrace and fed up of nothing being done. Why bother paying council tax etc?? Sort the roads out. Damage to my car and there will be trouble.

"The worst"

Absolutely useless and the worst council I have ever had dealings with. The staff are really thick and have no idea what they are doing. They couldn't give a damn about anyone and allow you to starve ir become homeless. I needed urgent foodbank vouchers. I had major brain surgery and on a lot of meds. I'm supposed to eat with them but I have no food. They failed to even attempt to issue a foodbank voucher. The lot of them should be fired and replaced by competent staff!!!! Disgusting council who need an investigation into their services and practise.

"This council is a money grabbing…be warned"

This council is a money grabbing organisation and that is all they are interested in I was in Stroud for two minutes to drop something to a charity shop a traffic warden had put a parking ticket on my car when I told them I had been two minutes they said it was to late as they had already put the ticket on it is a complete money scam and they are ripping people off on regular basis the services they provide is not good enough if you are going to continue ripping people of then you need to provide a better service the same applies in all places in Gloucestershire they are out to RIP people of in major way be warned!!!!!!

"Thank You To All At Gloucestershire…"

Thank You To All At Gloucestershire Social Services.
I Was Provided With Accommodation On M4 Westbound In A Time Of Great Need.

"Traffic Wardens"

Traffic Wardens - DO NOT TRUST THEIR ADVISE
We were told we could park on a double yellow lines -with a blue badge - in permit zone parking - as long as 2 wheels were on the double yellow lines.
In spite of that we were issued with a parking fine.
We challenged the fine on the basis of the traffic wardens advise.
Our appeal was rejected.
Can you REALLY TRUST those in authority?

"Moved into our new house in Cheltenham"

Moved into our new house in Cheltenham, needed permit to park there. I applied for permits in February 2021. We moved in on 15 March. I applied again each day in March and April. The permits are issued by Mipermit through the council and I was unable to complete the purchase each time I tried. The system wouldn't accept my money when I tried to pay. This continued until I got £140 parking fine out side my house in June. The permits then arrived the very next day. I appealed but with no luck. I sent all my evidence including screen shots of the purchase permit page showing my payment being refused every time I tried. No explanations or anything. No one was available when I phoned the council or Mipermit.

"All councils are completely useless"

Useless c*** won't take responsibility for deep bad potholes that has caused £410 worth of damage to my car had to replace trackrod as it completely distroyed it. I put in a claim that got rejected which I'm not happy about at all as I don't earn a lot of money & these c*** won't repair the roads.
