It’s now been over a year since I initially reported a blocked drain off of Bolton Road that floods out onto the main road. A further 4 emails have been sent with replies to some stating it’d be done by June 2022 at the latest, still has …

Rude, apathetic, incompetent on so many levels, omnishambles of a council. Every single encounter has been a stress inducing and achingly slow process that usually gets somewhere after the third attempt.

Show me a more uncaring, disorganised, unprofessional council and i’ll show you a liar. The council tax department avoid at all costs if you suffer from mental health problems. They cause stress and will make you ill. Messed my bill up on …

What an absolute joke this Council is, I’ve complained numerous times about double yellow line parking the council do nothing about it. You Blackburn Council are as ignorant as these residents who continually park on double yellow line. …

I can only thank the staff at the council especially the guys collecting the bins, the staff manning the phones, the highways dept and the cleansing dept ( dealing with fly tipping). You are doing a great job in extraordinary times very pleasantly. Thank you all and stay safe. Thank you so much.

very dirty town. rubbish flying everywhere and looks like nobody care. They easy send you a bill but I wonder what do I pay for?! Very dirty. Haven’t seen a town that messy in UK yet.

I am a disabled driver lived on my street for 14 years. i personally paid for my disabled bay only to find out 4 months later and after getting 4 parking tickets that its all been changed to residential ( so in other words my bay is …

Been trying for several weeks to obtain a receipt for a visitor parking permit, can’t seem.to understand when you have paid for a service & want to claim it back, you need a proper vat receipt not a standard email that my 10 year old could have done.

Great service from the registration office asked for a birth certificate and 48 hrs and done. We’ll done shame rest of your team in Other depts can’t follow same principal.

Absolutely DISGUSTED! I mailed so many times complaining that the bin men are leaving correctly despised recycling of dog food tins over and over again, which caused a massive increase in rats in the area! We now have a dog who has …

Hopeless. Miss bin collections regularly, don’t care when reported. Clean the town once in a blue moon.

I have been trying to contact my local councillors for weeks yet no response, first to come for your vote last to do any work!
Shocking

Be warned. Council workers are illegally going on private land to hand out cigarette fines and are hiding in cars. Keep an eye out they are after a christmas bonus! They will lie and say it’s a warning and actually give you a fine.

This website shows as not secure and unsafe to open.

Horrible council don’t do a thing to clean my street and don’t care to help with repairing holes in street

Very poor service / hard to get hold of anyone. Quick to send out invoices not so quick to help with queries / issues.

This place is a total joke, they dont even want to hear about the rubbish left on the back alleys

Charged for emptying garden waste bins , on numerous occasions they’ve not been emptied. Nothing but a set of crooks !

Blocked Gullie Department – Reported 14:30 today and by 15:30 investigation on site and a further engineer arrived and work commenced.

Useless, never collect our bins and hopeless when you try to complain.

Council guys this is a shame treeTown ChristmasC 2019, this is how you prepare festive spirit for kids and families? Disappointed

Always helpful and polite when you call them and deal with your request very quickly

Really poor service and can not deal with simple queries such as parking permits. Really disappointing

ARROGANT STAFF. TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO HOW I WAS TREATED

The worst and most uncaring council you’ll ever come across. I wonder if it’s run by conservatives?

Awful. Arrogant and uncaring staff. Useless and overpriced services.

Stealing, incapable, uncooperative t**ts
