Well I m surprised there aren t 1000s
Well I m surprised there aren t 1000s of reviews on here Firstly there are some departments and individuals at KMC who do a great job However the Council Tax department has a long way to go with their threats of summons bailifs and even custodial sentences prison for not being possible to find the money to pay it a year in advance It s not refusing to pay it it s having no money to pay it Now the Empty house property that they tell you about with a court date The house is up for sale but the roof and ceilings have all collapsed it s a death trap and now I m too ill to work I have to claim benefits and have to pay 500 for the mortgage myself as I m not renting I m left with 87 a month for all utilities food etcThank god my health condition allows me to have free prescriptions Other councils support people in situations like this and allow free prescriptions if someone is awarded PIPS Kirklees is still in the Victorian age and the wrong people are making decisions about where the government funding should be going time for a shake up

Would give 0 stars if i could
Would give 0 stars if i could Absolutely appalling council Think its acceptable to allow a vulnerable disabled person to be give and absolute s t tip of a house with walls falling down mould rubbish everywhere broken windows no flooring leaks in roofs and they have also gotten rid of the decorating grant so you get Absolutely no help and they say tough its not our problem Even if i had the money to pay for it all sorting im physically unable to do so myself due to being disabled heavily relying on a friend to do all the decorating Other councils have alot of grants and support in place for disabled people in this situation but kirklees say tough luck Also staff are rude and make flippant and accusing comments about disabilities because if you dont look crippled for the 5 minutes they see you then clearly you aren t disabled so rude comments can be made what they dont know is you were on 4 different Painkillers just to even sit and have a 5 minute conversation with them and are left crippled for days after

Kirklees the tomorrow council
Having seen the state Huddersfield town centre has been in for the last three years I have lost hope of Kirklees ever finishing anything they have started They should change the name from Kirklees council to the ma ana council

I tried to phone yesterday to get
I tried to phone yesterday to get through to a housing officer named Caroline she works on the dewsbury batley area as the workers doing my neighbours garden think it s acceptable to start a job which the council workers said they cannot finish till next week which isn t good enough I cannot access my garden I have 2 dogs and a 3 year old my neighbour is expecting me to leash my dogs which means I cannot even use my garden into the Easter holidays my neighbours dog is also aggressive which makes it is dangerous for my daughter I ve had no phone back the council have not come out to finish the job I cannot understand how it s acceptable to take a fence down but yet say you have another job to go and do which means I m left all weekend without access to my garden and not only that the workers was also rude telling me fu k off which now also means I feel very intimidated in my own home Kirklees council do not give a damn they do useless jobs they have young teens which don t have a clue what they are doing and don t give a crap about trying to help they are absolutely disgusting

my poor treatment at the hands of
my poor treatment at the hands of Kirklees Council as a long - term disabled person with mental health conditions Up an till this year there was a council tax exemption for all people living on a low income and who where not in work But Kirklees have got rid of exemption and when your already on a low income trying to deal with the cost of living where food and everthing is going up This could not of come at the worst of times I also use my benefit money to do art as away of self medicating as it stops me from self - harming and or putting my live at rise of harm so by taking away even more of my money that i can not afford this could put my life at risk And i know of many of my friends that well be in the some boat In one way or a other i have been treated badly by this council as a Vulnerable adult

Robbing the poor
The disgusting Labour controlled Kirklees council have decided that the best way to recover the 50 million debt that they have incurred through complete incompetence and ineptitude is to force those already in poverty the sick and disabled to pay council tax Apparently this was agreed after a public consultation that did not involve ANYONE who will be affected by these immoral and despicable decisions Kirklees council has always been an authoritarian dictatorship and what they have done shows a lack of compassion and care that is usually reserved for their opposites in the Tory party It s no wonder people are sick to the back teeth of the two main parties with the reason being the stupid and ignorant individuals that we have in authority today

Do not move here
Waste money on flower boxes to make the centre look nicer for all the crack heads and homeless people as they are the only people who go into town No housing services no mental health service making the town centre even worse full of criminals and immigrants No out of hours doctors No child services Don t even have a maternity unit There a joke Do not move here The council tax is extortionate and covers nothing other than there wages Pot holes in most roads dirty streets rats in centre Full of cooperate companies no small businesses as they can t afford to be here They have morons stealing wages all workikt from home and not actually working for them and do nothing to protect the people within there council We re moving out of Huddersfield after 30 years because of how much worse it gets year on year There in horrific debt and just waste further money on pointless things rather than what people want or need Taken over
