Received superb service from Tonie who helped me with my parking permit last week. I had opted for callback having been placed in a queue and Tonie called me back within a few hours. Whilst it wasn’t immediately obvious what the problem with my application was, she diligently pursued all avenues and found the issue. Tonie then gave very explicit instructions on what to do next.
I’d been dreading calling the council as previous experiences have been quite dire so felt it only right to leave a positive review when the service had been exemplary. Thank you!

I have lived in Wandsworth for several years in more than one place and my interaction with the Council has been quite pleasant. While the website (especially parking permits bit) can be confusing and there are indeed many options when you call, I was able to solve majority of questions online, and when I could not, I was able to quite quickly get to a person on the phone and they were very helpful and kind and I had my questions resolved. I am grateful!

It is very dissapointing to see that the council has failed as an authority and they are unable to take any action on people who are disturbing the community. We strongly feel that our council tax payments are a waste.

We have complained about a certain group of selfish people who party after 12 am with loud music near winstanley road which is behind the clapham junction station. This is happening on Fridays and saturdays after 12 am till morning 5 am. This had been happening for sometime and complained many times but the council has failed.

Even at this very moment it is happening. Being a pregnant mother i find it more difficult with these disturbances and we are awake till morning because of the loud music and the strong base.

A dystopian geometrical mess of plastic apartments has fragmented the view of this once historic landmark, sadly Battersea Power-Station has now been engulfed by this architectural nightmare.

Wandsworth planning department failed to safeguard the integrity of this historic site from the international property developers that continually decimate the outlook of London with tacky domineering buildings.

It would seem the principles of architecture have clearly gone amiss by its creators, as these obnoxious structures are not in keeping with the vernacular of the surrounding environment.

Take note from European cities like Vienna that have a more considered approach to the disciplines of urban design and planning, opting for green space and low-rise architecture thats both tasteful and sensitive to its local area and citizens.

Based on my experience with Wandsworth Council pcn "officers" very rude, no compassion and liars. I was helping a heavily pregnant lady with her shopping and unloading her car and taking them to the kitchen which is located at the back of the property. within 3mins I had a ticket.
I asked him to cancel it but apparently he was waiting for 6mins and could see what I was doing. Hiding his bike out of site and out of view. Cheap shot kinda guy.
Due to the process of contesting the ticket and the possibility of losing a days work to go to a hearing to let someone, with sense listen to my reason. I paid the ticket but then that is what councils want. Hit motorist and keep on hitting them. Get people to work against eachother in order for a couple more quid in the pay packet.

More like worthless council, reported a noise complaint back in August, called them directly they told me that the “noise officer” is “not available” at the moment, and promised they will contact me via email , well that was two months ago and I still got woke up by loud music from my neighbor everyday. WE PAY £132 EVERY MONTH TO THESE CLOWNS AND COULDN’T EVEN GET A SINGLE RESPONSE, what a scam.

The council that asks for money for the “repairs” they are doing and the only time workers actually showed up and done works they destroyed our internet cable and didn’t care. Scaffolders the council chose are in front of house 8am on Saturday whistling and singing because ignorance is bliss…the worst part is that council does not care that they’re doing a ridiculous job Lol 👏🏻
