Introduction to Complaint Letters To Council

If you are dissatisfied with any part of your council's service, you have the right to file a complaint.

Often, you may make your complaint over the phone, but it may be required to put it in writing, either by using the council's own complaints form or by sending a letter to them.

If your written complaint is not handled satisfactorily by your council, you should follow up with another letter to them explaining that if it is not resolved by a particular date, you will submit the situation to your Local Government Ombudsman.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: Compliant Letter to Council Against a noisy Neighbour

I'm writing to express my displeasure with my loud neighbors. They stay at (residential address location), (City and area name). They've been making noise since late at night and haven't stopped till the wee hours of the morning. (Describe in your words). This disturbs the night's serenity and quiet, as well as the slumber of the neighbors along that route.

The noisy people are a family of (family members number). The father of the family, (Name), usually comes home at about 11 p.m., drunk and abusive. He frequently crashes his automobile against his house gate because he is inebriated. (Describe actual problem and situation). This makes a lot of noise. It's also harmful for his next-door neighbors' safety. On his left is where my family resides. (Explain all about the situation). We worry about our house gates being smashed by him one of these nights.

(Neighbor name) is constantly having fights with his wife. Previously, there had been yelling matches in which pots and sharp weapons were thrown at each other. (Describe your experiences and some examples related to this). This has happened from past midnight till morning. It is driving us neighbors crazy.

His son and daughter throw parties for their pals on a regular basis. The gatherings were hosted every weekend last month. They were blasting music at a high volume. They show little consideration for their neighbors or young children who need to go to bed early.

We have reached the limit of our endurance. (Cordially describe your greetings and requirements). As a result, we're filing an official complaint with you so that you may take action against these bothersome neighbors.

We appreciate the swiftness with which they were dealt with.

Yours Faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: Compliant Letter to Council Against Lack of Waste Collection Services

I'd want to file a formal complaint about the council's failure to empty my outside bin, which has been unemptied for the previous three weeks. I live at [state your location]. As mentioned on your website, I always position it directly outside my front gate by 8 a.m. on collection days, and the lid is always fully down.

There is nothing except domestic garbage in the container, therefore I don't see why it shouldn't have been collected and emptied. I also spoke with my neighbors, who all confirmed that their dumpsters were emptied at the same time. Given that the next collection day is only four days away, I'd want you to call me to explain why my bin hasn't been collected in two weeks and to confirm that it will be emptied this week.

I have evidently gathered additional garbage throughout this period because your department neglected to empty it on the past two occasions collection was due. I've placed it in five huge black trash bags that are securely knotted and tight, and I'll set them next to the bin for collection this week.

I look forward to receiving an explanation by phone from you on the day you receive this letter and also a resumption of my refuse being collected this week and my contact number is [state phone number].

Yours Faithfully,
