Brent Council Recensioni 96

Searching for a family members grave in Willesden New cemetery was made easy by a kind and helpful member of staff , Tony. He went out of his way to help us locate the grave by explaining grave markers etc. He's must be a valued member of staff and others have surely found him to be approachable and considerate, a true gentleman. He definitely lifted our spirits!

Air quality is very bad on this council , they not monitoring Kingsbury, Preston, and many areas. People in kingsbury area burning rubbish, like plastic , rubber, etc , day by day and the council not bother to do anything about that, on the monitoring application show clean air but in fact is full with heavy smock. very toxic area to leave.The council administration eating people money and not doing they job!!!

It appears that the Brent Council's handling of parking permits and issuing tickets for funeral cars is deeply concerning and reflects a lack of empathy and fairness towards grieving families. Here's a review of the situation:

1. **Lack of Sensitivity:**
- It is highly distressing to learn that several funeral cars, including the vehicle transporting the deceased, were issued tickets despite having permits to park. This demonstrates a lack of sensitivity and respect for the solemnity of funerals and the emotional distress of grieving families.

2. **Unjust Treatment:**
- The fact that the council issued tickets to vehicles with valid permits highlights an unjust and arbitrary application of parking regulations. It is unfair to penalize individuals who have followed proper procedures and obtained necessary permits for parking.

3. **Limited Recourse:**
- The review suggests that challenging the council's decisions is an arduous process with little chance of success. This lack of recourse for individuals facing unjust penalties undermines the principles of accountability and transparency within the council's system.

4. **Systemic Issues:**
- The situation reflects broader systemic issues within the council, including potential corruption and a disregard for fairness and integrity in decision-making processes. Such systemic shortcomings erode public trust and confidence in the council's ability to serve the community effectively.

5. **Need for Reform:**
- There is a clear need for reform within the Brent Council to address the flaws in its parking enforcement policies and procedures. This includes implementing measures to ensure fairness, accountability, and responsiveness to the needs of residents, particularly during sensitive occasions such as funerals.

Overall, the review highlights the urgent need for the Brent Council to address the shortcomings in its parking enforcement practices and restore trust in its ability to serve the community fairly and compassionately. Failure to do so risks further alienating residents and perpetuating a culture of injustice and impunity within the council.

The elderly care service was very bad.

Last year my mum (80yrs) was meant to have at home care of 4 carers per day. One of the women (who is from Brent Council) visited my mum in hospital and terrified her by telling her she'd have to pay a lot of money for the service. Why the f would anyone EVER do that to a cancer patient? I had to reassure my mum. I contacted the woman (who was hard to reach) and she was evidently working from home and blatantly put me on loudspeaker to have a laugh at my distress. She ignored me when I spoke and was trying to stifle a laugh. She should really not be in a sitting room with her family when she is meant to be working. She said she'd get back to me and never did. It was such a distressing time and I wanted to make sure my mum would get the care she needed but this cruel woman didn't help at all.

Brent really need to think about who they hire since elderly care seems to be something they are terrible at.

Eventually the carers came. One was good, the other was awful. She was clearly in a rush, she rushed everything, never spoke to my mum. It was clear she wanted to go out or go home as it was a Saturday night. She kept using her mobile phone IN FRONT OF MY MUM and tried to rush her brushing her teeth. Whenever I came back in the room, she quickly put her phone away to pretend to me that she's looking after my mum. She shouldn't be on her best behaviour for me, she should be on her best behaviour for my mum. My mum felt so horrible about being treated that way. It was awful.

That girl should never be a carer again. She's a tomboy and I believe West African (as is half of my family). Seriously, she should not be allowed around older people.

All of this contributed to my mum's stress which is very bad thing for a cancer patients. My mum passed away 3 days later.

One of the worst councils I have ever had to deal with. Council tax is a disgrace it took two months for a response on a council tax issue and they messed up my council tax support. Needs to be scrapped and started again!

No Option for ZERO STAR. I HAVE BEEN BULLIED BY ONE OF THE OFFICERS FROM DOMESTIC ABUSE DEPARTMENT. Her NAME IS ABIGAIL RODRIGUEZ. They bully you for you to stop seeking help from them. EVERYONE FROM THIS COUNCIL IS NOT Helping. They make you more miserable and depressed. No wonder why many people committing suicide.

Subject: Unfair Treatment and Discrimination in Alcohol Licensing . I am writing to share my disappointment and frustration regarding the recent developments in my business, which has led me to make the difficult decision to close down my shop.

For some time now, I have been operating the only Brazilian shop in Cricklewood, and I have worked tirelessly to provide a unique and welcoming experience for my customers. Recently, I applied for an alcohol license to enhance the offerings of my store and better serve the community. However, I have been met with unfair treatment and discrimination throughout this process.

To my shock, the alcohol license I applied for was granted to a neighboring shop called Zoombie, despite the fact that I fulfilled all the necessary requirements and met all the criteria. It is disheartening to see that my efforts and contribution to the local community have been overlooked, while others seemingly receive preferential treatment.

I firmly believe that this decision is not only unjust but also discriminatory. It seems unfair that my Brazilian shop is being treated differently than other establishments in the same area. I have always strived to create a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their background, and it is disheartening to feel singled out in this manner.

I have made numerous attempts to address this issue with the relevant authorities involved in the licensing process, expressing my concerns and seeking clarification on why my application was denied. Unfortunately, my efforts have been met with silence, leaving me with no choice but to make the difficult decision to close down my shop.

I want to express my gratitude to the community for their support over the years. It has been an honor to serve you, and I am deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused by this closure. I hope that you will continue to support local businesses like mine, as they are an integral part of the community's fabric.

I also urge the authorities responsible for the alcohol licensing process to reevaluate their decision-making procedures and ensure that fairness and non-discrimination are upheld. It is crucial that all businesses, regardless of their background, are given equal opportunities to thrive and contribute to the local economy.

Worst council in the country.Total useless administration. Not fit for purpose.

Brent Council are useless.

I've given them the lowest rating I can on here...1 star but I think that is too generous.

As a brent resident for the past 8 years things are getting worse not better. Rubbish collection, street repair and sweeping, tree removal and replacement, responsiveness to fly tipping and parking are just a few things that make brent a poorly run council in desperate need of an overhaul!

BINS BINS BINS everywhere bins are disgusting, they come every two weeks and skip taking all our bin. 1 month they didn't take our bin then they came left one and took 2. BINS are piling up inside our houses waiting for them to take it. This system isn't working at all. We got kids, can't keep bins for long, and if we keep it outside, foxes are gona rip it and make mess. What are we suppose to do? Just pay council tax and not get any service when needed? When we call them to complain they say oh do complain about brent that's the only way. It definitely isn't working.

The worse council in uk my fathers grave stone taken off by brent council carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery by worker's because it is not bronze also rude behaviour by Brent council staff
How disgraceful.

Pretty tough to deal with - make yourself a brew, take a deep breath and await to be sent to websites and hungoup upon - the website is pretty tough - but what can you do? persist!

Brent council is incompetent and corrupt. pest control useless, rubbish collection random to say the least, streets are dirty and rubbish is left outside shops with no supervision, sidewalks dangerous. They are only good at giving fines. Crime is going up. Do not buy in Brent.

YOUR AUTOMATED SERVICE DOES NOT WORK
DO YOU ACTUALLY WORK?
IS ANYBODY THERE??????????

Utter joke. Got issued a PCN allegedly for stopping on a box junction. Looking at photo I’m the only car who hasn’t got brake lights on so must have been moving, not stopped.
PCN taken on 16th June received it in the post on 30th of June so it took 2 weeks to arrive.
Basically had to pay immediately on receipt or would have been outside the 14 day discount period.
I’m sure they do this on purpose so you don’t have time to challenge or take advice.
No excuse for taking 2 weeks in the post.

Gov.uk websites states that if you are having a problem with noise like loud music, rowdy parties in your neighbourhood, your council can help you. Believe me, they won't. The app the Brent council require to use to capture noise is a nonsense, and is just a tool to postpone any actions from them. Seems like my sound recordings from 02:00am or 03:00am was just to entertain myself! This ongoing anti-social behaviour impacts my health and well-being, and I started thinking about moving out.

Worst experience of my life !! Don’t do it !!

Incompetent, lazy, useless, losers who can't get another job!

Had few issues with these pathetic morons.

Found best option is to email Head of Brent and suddenly these people get out of bed!
