Entiendo el esfuerzo y el interés por la comunidad, Siempre sé puede mejorar y siempre ay que dotar a los jóvenes de herramientas. Para que no se sientan al margen. Lo bueno es que estáis en el camino.Correcto.

"Total lack of consideration for the adjacent neighbour by the council, drawn into the party wall “act”."

Treatment of adjacent neighbour in “Party” wall act appalling. I was told more than one person objecting to the plans was usually needed to stop works going ahead. As there is only myself living in my property and the property being developed is an end house, then more than one person objecting is not possible.
One neighbour further down did want to complain about an aspect of the development but was told only adjacent neighbours are invited to do this and only adjacent neighbours are notified of the development.
Many people don’t like to object as their names are included so threats, bullying and intimidation are possible. This situation with the development has changed (10.03.2023) but it is ongoing.
As the adjacent neighbour I don’t exist. Hounslow council have it right; BEFORE any development plans are made involve the adjacent neighbour. This has never happened in my case. A well respected, experienced, local architect I brought in was shocked by one aspect of the original plan and said “….how did they get planning permission for that.”

"No clean air signs"

No clean air signs, got fined £69.

The British way of PUNISH PUNISH people the moment they make an honest mistake it part of the reason so many people are depressed these days.

I don't see why people can't get a warning the first time they do something.

Tried to pay online twice, it won't work.

"I wouldn't even give this joke of a…"

I wouldn't even give this joke of a council 1 star I have never come across a council like this in my life they are a joke worst council out there

"I live in Bath"

I live in Bath, and this joke of a council treat its residents with total contempt. Its a case of " We know what best for you so just accept we are right". Neither Liberal nor democratic.

"Typical tin pot Lib Dem minority council"

Typical tin pot, mini dictatorship, fleeing transparency and acts in a low class manner with no morals what so ever, other than treating the public as a cash machine and destroying many, many, businesses. And thus in the process jobs too.
If you want to improve Bath, vote them out. That’ll improve peoples lives!
CAZ is a utter disaster, as is it’s operating management. Should be sacked.
Purely tyrannical - I’d give zero stars in reviews if possible.

"The clean air zone scam."

Let me make it clear that the Council and those they liaise with in government no more care about your health than you do about theirs They use pollution as an excuse to extort money of you .Nitrous oxides or not you will grow old and die.

The clean air zone is a joke.You have to pay a charge to enter it,so how does paying to enter it ,make the air cleaner.?


Unless they are trying to put certain vehicles off entering the city by fining them??Well that doesn't work.....if you must go somewhere you go,penalty charge or not.

These stupid schemes are thought up by stupid people who are in Government!!!!!.....and I was under the impression that government employees were educated people who make decisions that benefit us all.

The council wrote to me explaining the dire effects of Nitrous oxides in the air......as if I didn't know.These gases drift randomly through the atmosphere and will enter your clean air zone from a NON clean air zone ............can't you see that??

"£120 clean emissions… scam, for unknowing drivers"

Just picked up a £120 clean emissions fine from Bath Council passing through the city in the evening on route back from wales, Had absolutely no idea there was a clean emissions zone in bath, Offers a reduction to £60 if paid within 14days, no phone number to discuss the fine. If you dispute the fine and the reason is not valid, they will hit you with the full £120 fine, Check mate... Also doesn't list valid reasons for disputing the fine. Thanks Bath council... Impressive scam. Would be nice to receive a first time offence warning to create awareness to drivers passing through the area for the first time since the clean emissions zone was created. Then a fine would be perfectly expectable for second time offenders

"Absolute joke of a city"

Absolute joke of a city. Passed through it one evening, not knowing there was a 'clean air zone' and have been given a £120 penalty charge because I "didn't pay". HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY A CHARGE I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!?
