Redbridge Council Reviews 

Redbridge Council appears to have completely lost the plot when it comes to serving its residents. While serious issues affecting the borough — such as crime, antisocial behaviour, waste management, and deteriorating public services — are left unresolved or met with silence, the council is astonishingly swift and efficient when it comes to one thing: issuing parking fines to homeowners, I actually got one today at the same time my ringo payment took place!!!!

It’s genuinely infuriating to see how little attention is paid to matters that directly impact the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life for people living here. Try getting a response about fly-tipping, break-ins, or road safety concerns and you’re met with delay, deflection, or deafening silence. But leave your car slightly over a faded bay line for a few minutes, and Redbridge enforcement officers are on it with military precision.

The disparity in attention is staggering and paints a picture of a council more focused on revenue generation through fines than genuinely serving the community. Residents deserve better — a council that listens, acts, and prioritises the real issues that matter.

Until then, Redbridge Council will remain a glaring example of misplaced priorities and bureaucratic zealotry.

As corrupt as it gets. A decade long Resident, NO Longer allowed, parking permit. A massive discrimination taking place at Corrupt Council

The worst, dirtiest and the most expensive borough of London run by people with "don't care attitudes" towards the residents.
The borough has two tier system by dividing the borough into North and South, where the infrastructures are worst than a third world country.
The councillors are also not willing to take notice of the almost all roads and pathway are either broken or riddle with pot holes.
There was an incident where a car ram into the side wall almost 6 months ago on a busy road opposite the library building damaging the barrier and demolishing the wall which protects the pedestrians. To date nothing is been repaired. A serious incident will happen again and this time no wall to protect the pedestrians. The street especially philpot path is littered with junk, dead rats and smell of drugs consumed by various people's in and around Philpot Path.
All the Council is interested is to increase the council tax and providing no service in return.
I hope someone can seriously look into the above matters raised and take prompt action ASAP.

Redbridge Council is without a doubt the most infuriating and corrupt council in London. They dish out Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) like it’s their sole purpose in life, especially along Ilford Lane, where it’s clear they’ve got their traffic wardens acting like bloodhounds, constantly lying to the public.

When they issue a PCN, they give you a ticket number for an appeal – but don’t be fooled! After weeks of waiting, you’ll get a letter demanding the full payment as if nothing ever happened. They flat-out reject your first appeal without any proper notification. This is nothing but a blatant scam, a downright con, meant to squeeze every last penny out of the public.

They are scammer the sign for parking is not clear where to pay for parking I paid for parking following the sign which says pay by phone I paid for it through pay by phone app next minute had parking ticket saying you paid the pay by phone parking app it’s not pay by phone it’s ringo app and you have to pay your charge why don’t they clearly saying pay for parking through ringoo app not this shit.

My 75 year old father in law attended a medical appointment and parked in the Derby road car park Woodford and paid for 2 hours and left after 1 hour. He received a parking ticket and when we appealed we worked out that he put a B for the final letter on his registration instead of a V which is side by side on the keyboard and because we appealed they increased the fine to £80. I let them know that the car parking code of conduct states that minor keying errors should not be charged and as they suffered no loss of income as he paid for a ticket they should not pursue the PCN. I asked for assistance from the local councillors and MP but no one could help. A friend of mine entered the wrong registration in an Epping Forest car park and explained that he entered his registration for his car instead of his wife’s and proved proof of payment and they overturned it. Why have have an appeal process and employ people to send out letters when you do not overturn a minor keying errors should.

Corrupt traffic parking department.Taking bribes from businesses who park their cars illegally and dangerously at all times. No tickets issued, backhanders and bribes, admitted to me by one of the business owners.
Need independently investigating and the removal of top management....
Trouble is no-one will do it as they all have their snouts in the trough ....prove me wrong!!

the worst council. typical jobsworth. Bring DOGE to the UK

I have tried make several contacts to Mr Munir.I have rang several times, left several voice messages and sent several emails NO COME BACK.When I ring reception they have kindly say Mr.Munir works on Wednesday's!!!!! It is alright for you to be issuing wrong penalties and treating them with court proceedings etc!!!!! Yet there is NO COMMEN CURTESY to reply via phone call or email!!!!!! It is such shame google doesn't do "0" points on review or even better minus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well what a shit show of a council….seems to me they are desperate for money at any expense. I have received a penalty charge notice for stopping in a box junction in Cranbrook Rd and I’m supposed to waste my time trying to get out of it !!!! Wow I drive a van reg SA63 GWU with my name on the side of it….oh and I live 400 mls away in Scotland and have never driven to London 😬 What a waste of taxpayers money ( see you in court)😎

Fix the bridge !!!! Your recycling people keep stealing my bins ! Why are you charging us for garden waste bags when they get also stolen ?? P

Clear up your roads

One it's annoying when you get a fine going over a box road the picture is nearly black and you are charged with a fine. Enough said as its not a clear. Yet still have to pay

This council as a governing body serving the public are an absolute disgrace , customer service operators are rude ignorant and do not help you , My son is disabled and they have a duty of care under the mental health act ,,, They have infact exposed my son and discriminated him where by the matter is now in court .. Redbridge council have received a complaint but have disregarded it along with a years correspondence of emails they are incompetent , i will be `taking out a private court summons and exploiting them as totally unacceptable and dam right disgusting !!!!

I just went through the process to apply for a dropped curb and got to the payment screen. Then when processing the payment, after I approved the payment on my banking app, the site failed to process the payment without any reason why. I tried with 3 different account / cards. All have the funds and all asked for approval on the app, which I did yet the site or their payment processor failed or timed out. It better not take the money from each account!! I.e. take payment 3 times.

I went to the council with my six months old baby because I was homeless going through domestic abuse the housing accommodate me because they had nowhere to place me ask me if I could stay with a friend and for me to return to the council in the morning I did not have anywhere to go and me and my child were on the bus all night and had to return to the council in the morning

Redbridge council are crooks. They put up various different signage to catch people out. I've had parking tickets from Redbridge unlike any other borough. Full of crooks. They are the worst. Only recently they gave me a ticket for not paying correctly. The meter covered with something and the parking sign clearly stating to use pay by phone. I had almost 20mins left for my parking, when appealing they've said I didn't send the money to the correct place. Now who's fault is that...if the machine isn't working and has the same number as the roadside sign, who's fault is it? I can't wait to not have to do any kind of business in Redbridge, work or other. The council is corrupt and unavailable to speak to anyone. It's disgusting how they treat people. They've bot only taken my monet for parking but now want me to pay a fine...at the end of the day I've not parked up for free. I paid. Disgusting. Newham way better, had a similar issue and they said the signage wasn't clear, unknowing customers parking up getting caught out. Disgusting. I'm sick of Redbridge council behaving all high and mighty.

Suspended benefit but not informed. Nothing whatsoever received. All for £4 a week difference because I was honest re amount going slightly up. So now no money for 4 weeks meaning using charged overdraft for rent. If I didnt have that I would be in default. This is appalling and suspect due to people not completing tasks quick enough so just suspending till they get round to it - but also not at all informing theyve done that ? Amazing. No surprise reviews so bad.

Such a terrible council to deal with, especially the planning department, never experienced anything like it before, its such a shame.

You sent me a fine for doing a U-turn on a road where you did not make it obvious with signs ...take your money and shove it where the sun doesn't shine Redbridge! You will get your money lastminute.com.
