Council Being Unhelpful

37 Posts

We're in a relatively middle class area where most properties are houses, pavements fairly narrow, roads/pavements kept clean but a fair amount of potholes.
A month ago, an extra recycling large bin materialised outside my house, on the pavement. I thought one of the neighbours must be away on hols. It's still there.
It's a tripping hazard.
I contacted the council 3 weeks ago when I was told it would be 10 days (not 10 working days). I called again to say I'd dump it outside their office door but their comeback was that that's fly tipping.
I logged a complaint last week. Can anyone give any other suggestions?

and we will never, ever return.
if you can get your MP to have a word it may convince them to do something.
Hopefully you have put it down the side of your house, front garden or edge of driveway etc until then to ensure it's no longer a hazard
