Despicably Greedy Council
I among many thousand others in the Wigan metropolitan borough am a victim of this greedy and coldly indifferent council s human rights abuse This council has no respect whatsoever for the people it should be serving the best interests of It s only interest is money and will deteriorate the quality of people s lives to make it The area I have lived in since 1956 then with its decent folk and peripheral countryside once seemed as a hamlet and was a very pleasant place to live However since 1980 it has been used as a designated dumping ground for all the riffraff in the area and is now deemed to be solely dwelt by undesirables by the same sort nutters responsible Its surrounding greenbelt and common land is slowly disappearing beneath an ever-crawling sprawl of corruptly council approved housing and without any caring thought for the people whose lives it so cruelly affects How do they sleep at night Their children will have fields to run through rejoiceful in the wildness of their innocence and reap many wonderful memories of their childhood however by their actions they manifest as happy enough that our children won t because money is much more important to them than human life is It is extremely upsetting that an insane minority of nutters use and abuse us for their greed Mind you in a country run by a government guilty of the culling of its elderly sick and disabled as well as other atrocious human rights abuses against its people and in a country which criminalises your children for so innocently as sitting in a field making daisy-chains it is no surprise The happiness of our children skipping into the future would be immensely improved without these nutters allowed to exist in the world Sadly such criminals are allowed including our heinous politicians and protected by the police who quite disappointingly are nowadays no more than heavies for the wealthy and powerful and merit no respect from decent law abiding people

Wigan Council s Discrimination of the Elderly
Being an elderly person I do not have the understanding required to competently use the internet and am being cruelly discriminated against because of it Today as on numerous previous occasions I was deliberately kept waiting on the telephone solely for Wigan Council s strategic purpose of bullying me into facilitating their indifference toward the needs of the elderly who they want to contact them via the internet Their abusive strategy is despicable and will most certainly be causative of the health deterioration of many elderly people

Wigan is a wasteful Council
Wigan is a wasteful Council Claiming regeneration the town and my area full of building work lack of respect We have been subjected to building sites dirt mounds filthy roads dirty and shaking houses We received a general news letter that in no way explained what would happen Subjected to convoys of lorries blocking entrances Filth and mud all down the pavements Shaking and thumping that can be felt miles away No notification of when these things are imminent The builders told me that WMBC should have informed all tenants A dirt mound was erected license granted again tenants not told This mound looking into properties the area is a filthy building site Cleaners make matters worse spreading filth No schools or hospitals are being built so what on earth will happen as a result is anyones guess The drains are already bad properties flood cant imagine what the future impact will be especially work men dumping stuff down drains The we have the cemetries disgraceful Stuff being stolen off my sons grave Council pass the buck to Police who never turn up Cigarettes all over the grave and headstone Things melted where butts land on them Tree over grave sheds its leaves we are expected to clean all that up everything buried under it The branches hang so low your hair gets caught in them Its complain complain The bins in the Cemetry piled high it just gets worse They make excuse after excuse but they are a wasteful Council They disgust me

Deceiptful Council
I received a letter from Wigan Council informing me that someone would be calling to check my home s electrics However when he arrived he showed no interest in my electrics but a lot of interest in looking for damp patches I assume the deceipt was not to alert me to the fact that damp may be present in my property and avoid me suing them for allowing it to be They are stupid people Apparently the use of the word i iots is inappropriate

Needs a massive overhaul
Wigan Council are totally in denial Whoever runs manages the departments should be embarrassed These reviews speak for themselves Totally incompetent They create their own delays by not reading emails properly then try to blame it on the customer I ve submitted everything they asked for twice get a poorly worded letter back a month later asking for the files again Despite both files being acknowledged on 2 different dates Whoever runs this particular Customer Service team - shame on you All your staff need retraining to a much higher standard I ve tried both methods ie phone calls email all are bad send you generic copy pasted replies You shouldn t have to badger them as they should employ efficient people who communicate well actually want to resolve your query help Im sure the staff get a kick out of being awkward prefer you to just complain so they can pass the buck The last one was clearly working from home had me on loud speaker her dog was barking in the background I could hear the TV as she made a rubbish attempt to find out what mistake THEY made She wasn t concentrating Worst council I ve had the misfortune of dealing with I ve never been in the Life Centre as this sounds like absolute hell too As for bin day Why send the bin men onto estates main roads at peak time ie 8-9am when workers parents are leaving for the office or school run traffics bad Zero common sense they employ the worst drivers As a kid they came at 6 or 7am bk in the day Always blame funding or employees Read your reviews acknowledge that you are the issue take action I wont hold my breath as you never admit you re at fault
