In my local area a couple of times, email to the local council were not getting through. I generally find reporting via the smartphone app very good, but if its something that they cannot solve, no action will be taken. No point in going via a councillor, just message the police directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in going via a councillor, just message the police directly. You are not reading what is posted, I don't think. MY issue is one which they can, and should sort out - without going into too much detail, it is a public safety issue and one which has been reported by others prior to my email - having spoken to one of those who reported the issue over two months ago, they were assured it would be dealt with quickly - obviously some councils idea of 'quickly' differs greatly from mine.

I've contacted my local councillor by email twice recently, no acknowledgement, no reply to the email sent on Feb 18th Is this normal? There is a BIG difference between councillors. I have had to deal with a few of my local councillors a few times over the last 5 years or so. The worst was Francyne Johnson who rarely answered an E mail and never answered her phone. The best was Julie Grocutt who almost always answered an E Mail with in a day or so and usually answered her phone. In the middle was Penny Baker. As an aside it was pure bad luck that in this very serious issue (to me ay any rate) I had at the time it was Ms Johnson who I first saw at her surgery so it was her I had to mainly deal with, and the fact she was impossible to contact meant that I ended up not getting the redress I should have done out of SIV.

El Cid Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I find it strange that MPs and Councillors are discouraged from tackling issues outside of their own constituency. What about competition, surely its great if a councillor from outside of your area is willing to get involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I've contacted both Councillors and MPs and not had any reply at all. I've also had the bog standard reply 'We thank you for your enquiry' letter, which is worse than useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
