Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Been there one more time after that, and both times whatever work I had, it got done within half an hour-45 minutes. Needless to say, was quite impressed."
  • "The show was very well organised and everyone (adults and children) enjoyed it to the max."
  • "Thank you Wandsworth council."
  • "Made a report for fly tipping Wednesday evening. Woke up the next day with the whole area cleaned and with the workers cleaning up the rest of the street."
  • "Very efficient and friendly people (well, most of them - a few can be grumpy too ;-)), but all of them come across as really helpful."
  • "Managed to get our parking scratch card within 10-15 minutes. Very efficient and quite impressed actually."
  • "Council staff are usually very friendly and work hard to help."

Cons:

  • "The worst and most evil council ever, took me to court for a council tax of £180 that I did not know of."
  • "A response time of 15 days to get back to you via email is completely unacceptable."
  • "Tried 5 times to get through to Environmental Services but kept being referred to switchboard."
  • "Very disappointing services. Can only ever get through to an automated voice machine."
  • "Called the 'Environmental Community Services' a few times and the service provided over the phone has been terrible every time."
  • "Does anyone work at the Eastern Area team? They never answer the phone."
  • "Every time I call it gets disconnected - I find this absolutely unacceptable and a serious abuse of power."

Efficiency and Professionalism

Pros:

  • "Wandsworth provide good value services in an efficient manner and the various political parties tend to work together reasonably effectively to serve the people rather than to serve themselves."
  • "Wandsworth Borough has the 2nd lowest council tax in the country, very large borough with population of 306,995 in the 2011 Census."
  • "Toilets were clean and plentiful for everyone."
  • "The venue was absolutely beautiful, old and very well decorated."

Cons:

  • "Her whole manner was not good she really sounded as though she could not be bothered."
  • "People who: (1) are unable to read properly, when the role requires them to; (2) Do not have any mental reasoning or ability to think for themselves; and (3) Slur their words in an unintelligible way and get aggressive if you ask them to be clearer."
  • "More like worthless council, reported a noise complaint back in August... well that was two months ago and I still got woke up by loud music from my neighbor everyday."
  • "Shockingly incompetent service. Been trying to get recycling sacks delivered for 2 months."
  • "Attended here to get more permits for visitor parking on my street and was waiting 2 hours."
  • "I always seem to speak to the same guy who only listens to the first half of your sentence and provides the incorrect answer."
  • "Looks like she's doing me a favour by answering the phone. Zero professionalism, zero assistance."

Communication and Responsiveness

Pros:

  • "I was really struggling today and a man called Brad helped me out so much I don't know what I would've done if he didn't help me."

Cons:

  • "The notices they send out are hard to read and never really up to date."
  • "Can never speak to anyone. Don't do their job."
  • "Tried for over an hour on the phone to speak to a human being. just kept going round in circles."
  • "Omfg can't you speak to anyone at this council what a bloody joke."
  • "When they do decide to take the bins they spill as much of the contents as possible across the streets and leave it there."
  • "Can't even process a simple change of address."
  • "Properly notified them of my moving out date through the website. Turns out they don't monitor that, and they kept billing me anyway."
