Bury Council Reviews 

I made contact with the council from Ireland just on chance looking for any details they may have on my grandfathers birth. lo and behold they did and I managed to get the birth certificate. I was very impressed with the courteous staff who were very helpful.

We often complain when things go right and not give credit for when things go right. This is one where it went right. So bravo Bury register office staff

less than 1 star....sent a formal complaint which has been totally ignored.no real surprises there.even a second to ask for a response...they make rules up and dont follow them you pay council tax for failed or even no services.maybe if we stopped paying council tax enmass they would then sit up and listen...i will explore that one...

Shocking service as usual. Shez informed me my boiler would be fitted today after 6 days of NO HOT WATER/HEATING, Shez can’t tell the truth if it hit him in the face.
Nearly 12 years of constant boiler issues left for lengthy periods each time with no heating hot water or gas in some instances.
Bury services disregard what the ombudsman says they need to complete, I won my case against them 14-15 months ago and the work hasn’t been completed they don’t care about tenants or tenants trying to better the property.

Missed bin collection yet again and if it's after 1pm the following day you can't report it. I now have rotting food waste in my brown bin and they're expecting me to wait until the next scheduled collection. This happens regularly. Bury Council are a joke, the service they provide is very poor.

If you want a nice standard of living. Don’t move to bury.

I informed the council January 25 that I was Homeless living in a car and could do with a room somewhere after a relationship breakdown and they told me that I would be assessed by a site visit to prove I’m Homless ? I’m 60 unemployed I don’t claim anything and have 2 bad knees first operation is on the 8 th Jan and I won’t be able to live or walk we’re I am , I wash at a local shopping centre I cook on a camping stove in the woods I have a plastic plate and a spoon ?It’s New Year’s Eve now and nearly a year I’m still in the same place and not moved anywhere , I’ve still not been assessed and presume it’s not gonna happen thousands of thugs that just turn up in this country get a nice hotel food help money etc etc etc etc etc etc am I the wrong colour I’ve emailed the councillor about this before but not even had a reply? I’ve paid my bills since I was 18 in prestwich??total waist of time bury council I’ve mailed the people who do the site visits many many times now let’s see wot were this goes happy new year bury council

Got a parking Ticket from Bury Council at work I see them everyday putting tickets on cars parked I have experienced this before with litter fines with lies on the ticket I was at Burnley general once when my daughter was born got a litter ticket on the hospital site when i looked at ticket it was showing i was on main road and not in hospital grounds found out later they have been band from private property at the hospital also I had a experience once in a car park in Howarth where a sub contract clamping company through there council where putting on clamps before time was up on ticket they where found out in end on news for clamping before ticket ran out bury council must be making thousands a month on parking fine seems to be more popular places where they know people will be parking would say it is a money making scheme now for the council to make extra revenue I still Paid the ticket in my experience with these tickets it is how they can get for there bonus in how many tickets they can give out when they try to take you to court for non payment they don't want to help when you notice errors on there tickets issued.

Paid for parking, alas if you want a job done badly, ask Bury council. Their operative didnt notice the ticket and fined me. Windy day and the tickets blown off. Lied their arse's off. I know of several other people this has happened to. Dont waste your time and money, go somewhere you wont be robbed blind by a mornonically run council and its dishonest, inept, and useless staff.

Absolutely worse council I live in horible experience bury council is rude and not helping at all my garden drainage pipe was open and my baby leg stuck into I report I call I write complaint still not get no wear get email back saying its my responsibility maintain garden seriously how drainage pipe is council property

Bury Council.
Always moaning it's Underfunded.
Skint?
Strange.
Seeing how it has just spent £13,000,000 covering a Traditional Outdoor market with a Roof?
Easy answer Lets Hammer the Severely Disabled in our borough with Council Tax Demands.
F U Bury council, you are a disgrace.
Ashamed to say I'm from this 5h1t town.....

Bury Council logos on car park signs and payment machine which the council say is nothing to do with them and are run by SMARTPARKING WHO ISSUE FINES OF £100 on a regular basis
IF YOU PAY ON A COUNCIL MACHINE AND GET A RECEIPT WHICH SAYS BURY COUNCIL ON IT YOU STILL GET FINED.
CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COUNCIL HAVE THEIR LOGOS ON WHAT THEY SAY AREN’T THEIRS AND HOW DO THEY JUSTIFY THEIR NAME BEING ON THE PARKING TICKETS

Pathetic rang them 1st thing this morning the boiler which is upstairs is leaking through to the sealing in the kitchen downstairs now the kitchen sealing is brown now instead of white now its 4 an half hours later and they still haven't sent someone to repair useless as ever!!!!

The planning department and political leadership is hopeless in opposing private profit based children's homes. We need a creative, robust and muscular approach from the Council to support residents in opposing inappropriate children's homes

I drove into Bury on business and immediately came face to face with a horrendously littered A road (Rochdale Road) leading into town. Due to the slow traffic, i noticed now badly littered the side streets are (furniture and mattresses etc have been left there), as well as the park. Bury has become a dirty, littered town that is in dire need of a clean up.

I would like to thank Bury bin collection services for the prompt action on returning to empty my brown bin, it was missed during the normal time earlier.

Giving one star as I cannot give zero. Bin not collected and when council informed the response was abysmal. To say staff are unhelpful is an understatement. Person I spoke to was abusive, egotistical and had a couldn't care attitude that would qualify for an Olympic gold. When I asked for a call back I was told that it would be within 5 days, we all know call backs from the council never happen. It seems that when you are given a job at the council you are give instructions to be rude and obstructive. Might as well talk to a brick wall

Thanks to the lads for finishing the bistro patio at Red Bank thanks to those that started the job ( but were taken of it by the powers that be) and to those that 3yrs later have finished it and thanks Anthony for the flowers for our garden they are
appreciated.
Thanks to Jason ( a man who knows what hes doing) for the hard work on Red Bank gardens its nearly back on track, can Red Bank have him back please on a regular basis.

Bury Council do absolutely nothing now for the residents of Bury except keep increasing our council tax. I reported a falling branch from a tree on council land on our car causing damage last August and am still waiting. Reported missed green bin collection on March 27 and was advised they would post out bags and none have arrived. I reported blocked grids, potholes, fly tipping and they don't want to know. I used to be proud to live in Bury but not anymore! Also what is being done about the indoor market? Some people still haven't been relocated and it's six months now and this is their livelihood!

Currently moving house and had to clear out the loft and other rooms.

Made several trips to Bury Recycling depot today and the guys there couldn’t have been more helpful 👍

Helped identify all the correct recycling bins, even put a few items in the recycling house container!

Amazingly helpful for an Easter bank holiday weekend

It’s a 10/10 from me 👍👍👍

Colin Somerville is supposed to be a manager and to handle stage 2 complaints!
This guy is actually above that and doesn’t need to deal with us people in council properties in his eyes! All damages are our fault not connelys or your workmen! I’ve numerous photos but won’t let me upload.
Your staff abused me in my home calling me a f ing nobhead which I have on cctv and you condone that??? Why?? You’re aware I’ve had damp mold and damage to kitchen elements exposed in my property for 5 years but don’t want to act!!! You should be ashamed Colin your a disgrace to bury services
