I regret moving here with my family and pets. Litter and fly-tipping are everywhere, residential areas are neglected, and it’s unsafe for animals in many ways. Residents are among the rudest I’ve ever... See more

Muggers

Muggers! They said I stopped in a yellow junction box. I would never enter one without my exit being clear. Pics only showed my car outside box. Asked for video evidence twice! Never came. Paid the fine because it's too difficult to dispute. And absolutely forget trying to get through on the phone. Public service? They're having a laugh.

Abuse of power is rife

Planning officers frequently abuse the power they have and conservation officers are myopic and puritanical- no doubt supported by their leaders.

Of course, indecision is endemic.

They delay an application well beyond stipulated timeframe and slap fines in 24 hours! How quick! But not while they’re supposed to be doing their jobs.

Reminds me of the texts i have read on the Soviet state…

Hounslow Council technology is not fit…

Hounslow Council technology is not fit for purpose. I have never been able to pay anything online and always have to revert to the telephone payment system. However, inspite of giving a payment reference number, there is no reference to what you are paying for when using the telephone payment. Then there is the ridiculous, outdated system to sign up for garden waste. You are unable to do this on line. A form has to be downloaded, filled in and posted off before someone contacts you for payment. In this day and age? I won’t even go into my experience of trying to obtain the garden wastage service because you would not believe me. It is absolutely ridiculous. You cannot talk to a human being and this is fair enough, but they need to sort out their technology as a matter of urgency to drag them into the 21st century!

If L B of Hounslow were a private company they would go bust.
Emails go unanswered cant get through on the phone.
Don’t believe anybody giving this shower a five star rating
As they probably write themselves when the phone is ringing off the wall.
