Buckinghamshire Reviews

No one available

87 year old left standing at reception having to explain her issues in a public space No privacy awarded Answering pointless questions that had no relevance to the initial enquiry which confused her Only to be told after 20 minutes that no staff are available anyway What is the point of office premises if there are no staff available for the public to talk with The receptionists was completely unhelpful incapable of assisting yet wasted 20 minutes on nothing Might as well place a closed sign on the door

Uncaring Council

Received a parking ticket which I challenged as I had tried 3 different parking meters all not working Apparently you have to keep walking round Aylesbury trying to find one that works couldn t download Ringo App As a resident of Buckinghamshire i find the council to be very unsympathetic to its residents but I guess they need the revenue to pay their inflated wages Very unimpressed

South Bucks are rubbish

South Bucks are rubbish I got told that l have to pay 8 00 for a black box that someone stole when put outside for collection I now have been told l have to pay for someone else s theft Why are we paying Council Tax Big question where does it ALL go other than the people who work there Rabi in South Bucks could not answer that so decided to put me back to the automated start again Discussing Shame on you all

Delays in Chesham

Delays in Chesham HP5 due to four temporary traffic lights Took 25 minutes to drive a journey expected to take less than 7 minutes to a doctor s appointment in Red Lion Street The delay was caused by a cordoned stretch of road less than 20 metres long and no work taking place on this site Rang Bucks Council spoke to unhelpful Customer Service representative who assured me she would pass on my question and email me later which did not happen Rang today and was transferred after 21 minute wait to High Ways Simon has no record of any temporary traffic lights in Chesham yesterday and will investigate and ring me later today - I am waiting Received text from NHS informing me that I had missed my doctor s appointment which costs the NSH 68 I did attend this appointment albeit late in line with most other patients Bucks Council employ contractors to carry out road repairs but appear not to check if work is being fulfilled

Buckinghamshire Council Adult Social

Buckinghamshire Council Adult Social Services are thoroughly corrupt and money grabbing and dishonest Due to them and their lies a lovely friend died in horrific circumstances and they are trying to cover this up by blaming it on us They refuse to let us make a complaint saying we are not allowed to Iam so disgusted and angry If any one reading this can help please reply

Adult social care non existent

My Dad was referred for urgent respite care from GP as my Mum is in hospital Took 2 days to ring back then no help at all Have to source my own respite as it would take them 3 weeks to find anything They could look around for a small fee but I would still have to look at homes Seems they just want to make money out of vulnerable people I wonder if I left my Dad on his own to fend for himself would they even care I doubt it It doesn t matter that I am trying to support both of them with absolutely no help My parents were reported to safeguarding too but this didn t seem to bother them All I was advised was to complete a financial form on line for an assessment which would take up to 3 months Just platitudes and non proactive Can t even monitor carers or support them without having to constantly ring them Even then you re fobbed off and offered no support My Mum has had 1 carers assessment in 4 years and that was over the phone They just don t care I don t even see the point of the service to be honest as it s not fit for purpose

One rule for them and another for us

They are not charging all their local councillor s full council tax They are allowing them to leave homes empty for years without charging them empty premiums I wonder how many poor unfortunate people they are taking to court who are unable to pay their exorbitant council tax I complained about this nearly a year ago to the full executive committee but they did nothing to help The CEO is on a package worth 300k which is double what the prime minister earns Look at the roads in this area The worst I ve ever seen They won t investigate complaints properly and won t escalate them to level 2 complaints which blocks you complaining to the Local Government Ombudsman A dirty trick to stop you complaining to a basically useless LGO anyway The LGO refused to investigate corruption A person who is currently a councillor stole part of my father s land My father was registered blind and deaf and suffering with terminal cancer The theft of the land and original fence also involved criminal damage and trespass in this case They caused the sale of my deceased fathers house to collapse by giving poor advice and then started to charge exorbitant council tax premiums on us They run this council more like a mafia than a public service They have forgotten who they serve No services were provided to the house for three years They allowed a monstrosity of a house to be built next to ours with overlooking windows that ruined the value of our house These people are completely corrupt You would be safer complaining in Russia They have no accountability to anyone But they have forgotten that eventually everyone gets their comeuppance
