Last week the wind blew the lid off one of my recycling boxes and into the carriageway whereupon it was run over by a passing vehicle and shattered into several pieces. Grrrr! So I’ve had to keep the box in the garage to prevent the paper and cardboard from being soaked by rain.
Today I telephoned Redbridge Council, not being optimistic that I could request a new lid and only the lid. To my amazement and joy we can. My new lid is on it’s way.
I have also reported a defective street lamp, noticed on my way home from the pub last night, via the Report It section on the award winning Redbridge-i. While the new beta version is a complete pain in the a*** the functionality of this bit remains great and Redbridge Council are really good at responding to reported issues.
It’s little things like this that make a difference.
Happy Christmas Redbridge Council.
I think our council is great. We have reported defective street lights and dog fouling and they have always been sorted out.
ReplyDeleteJust used a superb app on http://www2.redbridge.gov.uk/Map/ReportIt.aspx?type=1031 to report two faulty street lamps. When will @RedbridgeLive fix them? The countdown starts
ReplyDeleteMy lid arrived this morning.
ReplyDelete... and my street lamp is now working. That's two working days.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that you were able to see a lamp post after leaving the pub
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
What makes you think I saw it, in the dark, as opposed to bump into it?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too!
