Anti-wildlife and green spaces
Anti-wildlife and green spaces - hired contractors that thoughlessly decimated a community-maintained wildflower meadow. How can a council hire such mindless vandals - I hope they witheld all payments.

A thieving institution even in Banki Holidays charges people for parking, it's unthinkable, it's one of the few such cunning institutions, they are always short of money, they led to bankruptcy and now at any cost they extort tribute from people for anything.

Complaint Croydon Hausing
Today I called Housing Croydon and waited 50 minutes on the phone line, finally when a worker answered the phone I wanted to say what help I needed the line was disconnected. I dialed the same number again and after 45 minutes I gave up the call because this is terrible. Imagine having obligations and being left with the line turned on and you are still seriously ill like me, what would you say. I see that other reviews are also very negative that no one, especially the Croydon Cancellation Tax detective, reacts and finds a solution. I ask for an answer why they don't understand that the employees are there for us!

I wouldn't give 1 star
I wouldn't give 1 star. I live in cr2 area and none of our bins have been emptied this week where as neighbours have been emptied. No reason whatsoever
money grabbing scumbags
money grabbing scumbags
got a PCN for driving through a no-entry. this was a 2 way street in 2019 and my satnav was showing it as such.
this is a common practice by councils to catch out drivers such as myself who are unfamiliar with the area
I would advise people to update their satnav software regularly (more money you have to spend) otherwise get a crap PCN letter through the post and pay £65!
Also why is this stupid profile showing as a charity?
Ignorant and useless.
The tenancy team at Croydon council are virtually un reachable.
No phone goes through to anything but an answering machine and emails are not responded to.
I have been in the unfortunate position of having to take a bite out of this shit sandwich, the fragrant filling of which is Guy Snowden in more than one occasion now.
A man who signed a promise to help resolve issues at my extremely sick mother’s flat and has done f#%k all but ignore any communication attempts.
I have now had to take over to do his job for him and am finally getting somewhere with the assistance of the company that Croydon outsourced there maintenance to as they actually can communicate but it has taken over a year to get any traction on what should have been a very simple repair job.
Disgusting Croydon Council
Hi I have just opened a letter which is a charge certificate, I can't believe it, as the last correspondence I had was when I appealed the parking fine, explaining about my disability and the reason why this happened, I haven't been very well and this has compounded the situation. Why would the Council just send a charge sheet for £195 I have not got the money its terrible, they can do this without sending a letter to say the appeal had been successful or unsuccessful.
Disgraceful parking fines on roads that…
Disgraceful parking fines on roads that are hardly used on a Sunday. Croydon the worst borough ever to lose Westfields, leaving a dump in the town centre and then putting g traps on the roads to catch people out on Sundays. I’m done with Croydon so more business lost!!!

should be sack .. you forced me to moved in where nothing is working . I will make sure I take this case up trust me
Utterly disgusted
I'm writing this thinking what's the point, but I will try. Croydon Council have just put me through sheer hell for 5 years. We have pollution officers turning up at my door, unannounced, like let us in and pressuring me. They not there to help! NO!!!! The issue is Antisocial behaviour, stinking extractor fans that run over 60 decibels for 11 hours a day all year. They blow curry, grease , garlic and charcoal smoke into my garden and home. One neighbour moved out, I'm forced to try and move out but ohhh...the council lie, cheat, deny the reality and have the nerve to say I'm imagining it all! They have shared my data with a 3rd party, risking retribution from the offending business causing the issues. Today...Planning Dept have ...rather sneakily ...passed planning permission without telling me and other residents. They have public sector equality duty to a number of residents but they P all over that. It's like shouting into a hurricane in a goldfish bowl. Congrats croydon council for utterly destroying me today. Now you don't get to fool me any more. You own your vile behaviour. Enough is enough.
One of the worst places to live
One of the worst places to live, now healthier school programme and no vehicular traffic etc, it is time to leave croydon people. They dont send out penalities but once its overdue like the maximum then they will sent out penality notice. One of the horrible councils in the entire Country. Worst place to live.
Goddards Vet in Addiscombe
Goddards Vet in Addiscombe, would recommend Lana without hesitation
We took our aged cat of 17years old to Goddards.
We saw a veterinary called Lana who was so kind, examined our cat fully, explained what was going on with her, gave us options so we felt we were doing the right thing for our cat
An exemplary vet, she clearly loves animals and wish we had seen her previously as she was spot on!
Thank you Lana!
Pauline Carter in council tax
Pauline Carter in council tax , called up DWP to report my elderly mother about false allegations. I know it was her who reported her, as she was questioning me over the phone.
Please get your facts right before you report innocent people. Of course DWP has seen our evidence and left her alone now. Nasty piece of work. Croydon council are in debt of millions so they try to report innocent people to retrieve money. You should be ashamed of your self, an elderly woman. You’re going to reap what you sow.

-1000 stars (minus 1000 stars) Croydon Council…
-1000 stars (minus 1000 stars) Croydon Council is the worst ever council I have seen in my life. I love the Croydon but not this stupid Council.
If I could give a minus start I would
If I could give a minus star, I would. I hate absolutely hate this borough and wish I could pack and leave tomorrow This borough is one of the worse in London when it comes to crime, its also the poorest bankrupt borough who literally steals from its residence. I hate, hate, hate this borough and the people who run it. I constantly pick up parking tickets for going through restricted areas (almost every month theres a new restriction)! I tend to keep my eyes on the road when driving not looking up at posts with small writing which states the restrictions. Make your signs with bigger writing and bright colours so drivers can see when entering a restricted zone. I guess if you did that you wouldn't Rob us all of our hard earned cash, you disgusting theives, youre meant to be restricting these streets to make it safer for school children, not to make money! I seriously can't wait to move out of this disgusting pit. This must be what hell feels like.

This Croydon council is a joke
This Croydon council is a joke! The people who work there should never be allowed to work to help people in need. I am at risk of homelessness again and I have health problems. I received an e-mail saying that I am not in any danger if I live on the street. A few years ago I met a woman who has no rights to work or reside in the UK. She got help from Croydon council, they provided her with a flat in Manchester and she received financial help for the most necessary things for the house, she still lives in the UK and gets help from the council. If such people continue to work there, nothing will change. The most important thing for them is that their families and friends get help from them.
