Write a ReviewI doubt this council could be more incompetent if they tried.
We are now (at the start of spring / summer) expected to never dispose of garden …
Rubish have not been collected for 3 months now… all flies from bins get inside the house. I do not even know why I am paying £1600 per year, that’s around £200 monthly, what am I paying this money for… Thurrock Council is the worst …
Julie Hewett never answer as she done ?! and disgustingly behaved debt recovery and disgustingly. I want to know how many years transforming internat programmers but her pranks avoid… me… ” an old Pipe Stink ” it’s could kill me breather diffcult and sick ill (The Great Stink)
Only given 1 star because I cannot give ZERO!! Thurrock council are an absolute joke! Iv had my roof leaking since November 2022 and am currently still sat under a leaking ceiling that’s dripping water all over our belongings and ourselves. …
Catherine Hains is the most unprofessional, rude and disgustingly behaved debt recovery officer I have ever come across. Don’t bother asking for a manager because she is just as bad as the incompetent staff. Is it a requirement to be …
So after ages the council decided to give us recycling bins (not sure why they took so long) its been almost 2 months since the recycling has been collected! My partner spoke with them twice and nothing was even recorded!!!! I spoke with …
What is up with the refuse collections. Told to put brown bins out on 18 October as it was supposedly our week after being suspended for a couple of weeks. Guess what it is now 28 October and the brown bin still hasn’t been collected. It’s …
Absolute cunch of bunts. If there’s a bigger waste of oxygen outside of Donald Trump…I’ll need clear evidence that it’s not everyone involved in Thurrock Council. You get zero days to respond, from notices sent no more than days before, …
Rude and patronising on the phone. Talking to their paying residents like children. This council shows so much disrespect to their residents it’s a joke. No point paying council tax as the council actually do nothing. Worst council to stay under in Essex.
Worst council in UK, no response for parking permit for two months, fines every day even though you live there, parking fines everywhere, worst roads, fines for everything no resolution for anything. No proper communication from the …
This council has absolutely no duty of care towards its citizens. I am a care leaver, and the accommodation that I rent from the council while I complete my degree and try to make a better life for myself is absolutely disgusting. Despite …
Another review, after mine was removes, Corruption withing the departments, practically called a liar like, worst council in Britain, Only intrested in you paying rent and council tax, for a non existent service. Lost count how many times i …
Disgusting service from this Council, they leave you on hold for so long in the hope you will just give up and hang up. Not sure why we bother paying council tax, as the service you receive is so poor, they should be paying us for living in their borough. Clearly all the negative reviews are having no effect either! NO STARS FROM ME!
Nothing is simple when you speak to Thurrock Council, particularly when it comes to waste collections. Today their binmen damaged my car with their careless handling of the bins. If I hadn’t been in my PJs still, I would have gone down to …
Bin collection, state of roads, pavements, filled with potholes, state of the parks, medical services and the list goes on. Couldn’t rate it less than one star unfortunately. Appalling services overall and really don’t understand why are …
Totally inept, rubbish (bin) collections range from diabolical to non-existent, impossible to contact & take no ownership of their responsibilities as a council. Councils are not underfunded they simply hemorrhage tax payers money due to …
They rarely ever collect your bins in Gray’s. We always have trash flying around! There has been times where they miss my house 2weeks in a row?! Maybe everyone in Gray’s should wheelie their bins in front of Thurrock councils building and dump it there. What the hell am I paying tax for?
From collecting bin to facilities in this area all is in poor condition. We pay council tax nearly similar to London’s borough. But the facilities we have is much less. For instance there is no Lido or outdoor swimming pool in this area. …
You should be ashamed of yourselves our bins in which we as tax payers pay for have not been collected on over one month not to mention many homes are overflowed with bins. They will be an increase of rodent issues. This is an absolute shame that in this country as council tax payers have to take our own refuge. Disgrace!
My council tax discount application was posted 1.5 month ago and I got a telephone call from one of the council tax officers ack my application. And 1.5 month later when I called them to clarify the progress they are saying they can’t find …
BANKRUPT COUNCIL DUE TO DODGY INVESTMENT PLANS TURNED SOUR..
PUBLIC ENQUIRY WELL OVER DUE..
Worst council to experience. Very unhelpful. Don’t know how the MP was put in place and cannot make reasonable changes to members of the community who pay their council tax. The whole council is useless. Every department. This why the do …
Firstly, finding a contact number to speak to someone is terrible.
Secondly, regarding Waste and Recycling, when the Dustbin People miss your bin, …
All my dealings with this council are all one sided. They want answers or payments straight away. When they dealing with things for you they will not chase their back office until 4 weeks have past. If they are making a payment to you it is …
I have visited these offices and been to meetings here, the offices reasonably pleasant, and the meeting went ahead punctually. I regularly engaged with their planning department, and I find them helpful, if a little slow to respond. …
Received two parking tickets on a broken down vehicle within 3 hours. The appeals were both rejected and they completely disregarded anything I said.
Two further appeals were again rejected and a six page letter with details of …

I have lived at my current property for coming on 4 years and oh my gosh its just falling apart! I have contacted through, phone and emails both mears and …
Recycling bin should be collected once a week as they say in their website, but it is only collected once every 2 weeks. Also, they never answer my complaints.
Almost a month trying to contact someone by email or phone to renew my resident permit but they are useless,went in the council strait but is closed still god knows why all the country start running but they still working from home?!Bin …
Trying to get through to rent just go round in circles. Waited ages no one answered the phone. Should be able to go to the offices to sort things out. Ridiculous in this day and age
Bins not collected again.This time missed on the 21st December normal bin collection just before Christmas bin overflowing. Extra rubbish to pilled next to bill unable to contact council no apologise or explanation poor very poor service
Website was a little confusing when looking into HMOs but as soon as I emailed the private rental department I had two replies very quickly dealing with my questions and making things much more clearer. …
I couldn’t give these people no stars unfortunately,it’s mind-blowing how incompetent this council is , ringing up with a problem is a huge effort considering how poor the service to the public is, Thurrock council couldn’t care less,there’s no allowing for the Covid card , Thurrock council has been appalling for years
Almost impossible to speak to the relevant department, they don’t call you back when you leave a message either.
There is a level of incompetence that runs through almost everything they do, …
This council are a total waste of space for thurrock, the hedges are a mess, the roadsides are a mess and the potholes need to be done before the winter, there are certain areas in thurrock that are spotlessly clean such as Orsett and North …
Absolutely Useless environment service Rubish collection
Not first time issue
Rubbish not collected for 3 weeks , than they came in week 4 and took whole …
Your website for paying rents or any other bills is appalling and needs somebody to look at it again, why do you have to repeat with your address twice to get to paying your bills?
Just had a chat over the phone with a young lady from the electoral and IT services and apparently she forgot that she’s paid for her time and not for her attitude [interrupting people constantly when they talk, sighing, literally telling …
Just about every dealing that I have had with this local authority in recent years has been poor. Currently trying to open an account to deal online with them but systems are not working. Trying to contact them on the phone well the answer …
An absolute joke!!!! Some illiterate person/people thought it was ok to send 2 siblings to 2 different primary schools 1 mile apart. These schools start and finish at the same time. Now my childs education and mental health is at stake because of the decision of thurrock council admission team
I needed help and being dissabled and had no heating or hotwater for over two months with the private landlord not doing anything i contactied social services,she said the council doesnt get involved at all with private landlords or their tenants,whats the point of social services
Useless, Our ♻️ bin hasn’t been emptied for about 2 months, disgusting. I wonder why we pay £1600 council tax.
I have been given to parking fines even though I have applied for resident parking permit, but until I receive that it seems I cannot be given some kind of provisional parking permit.
Rubbish council
Mr Klein from social services why you visiting me at work

Send an application for a driveway in March last year, it got approved, we paid for it and haven’t heard any update since. We felt like we got robbed from the council

No-one knows what there doing, keep putting on hold to then find out that I’ve been put through to the wrong department.. for the fifth time. …
Just needed to pick up parking permits.
Been waiting over half hour now and only moved up one place in queue. …
I would give 0 stars if I could. Worst employees I’ve ever seen. They only care about taking your money, nothing more. Please find the decency to do something about it. Cheers.
My dad Was issue FPN by Officer Campbell. He was Polite and friendly. Well spoking. My dad didn’t trust look of his colleague . He complain. That his colleague don’t look trustworthy
The only thing thurrock council is good at is squandering tax payers money they are as bent as a nine bob note

Been trying to pay my service charge since 11 am- I’ve lost the letter with the direct number and keep getting passed around to the wrong department. It’s now 16.04. Still haven’t managed to pay it!
The local authority have finally be told after 18 months that parents are to be told about their children being ill and have a legal right to be told straight away yet Jeff Klein knew about this and refused to speak with us parents and his …
Unbelievably incompetent when it comes to reporting fly tipping and processing DSS tenants. Utter useless and seem to be scared of the telephone. If I could leave no stars I would.

Waiting for hours on phone… No answer on all available phone lines. No face to face service. Communication is so poor. Online services so bad.
Received a letter after paying my council tax in full that if I didn’t fill out and send back they would be asking for more money after paying the council tax in full money con artists.
Appalling and unhelpful. I had to wait for ages to get through to the right department. Unfortunately Thurrock Council do not offer a service fit for purpose.
Are boiler went down got told 24 hours be sorted still nothing 4 days later dropped heaters off because we had a baby but was told why is she not down on the council list
don’t bother as they don’t help help you when you become homeless, they tell you they won’t if your not pregnant or don’t have kids!!!!
no wonder there is so many homeless people about, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!!!!!!
Thurrock Council Must be one of the worst out there for doing their duties on time. Getting paid money for nothing!!
Worse every council in England
