Boiler in Council Bungalow

Sparklebright63

Hi to all,

What Can I do about our Boiler in the Bungalow it Keeps Going Off on its Own have had Council out about 40 times in the past few Years we want it Swopping it's really annoying having to phone up everything it goes gone twice today.

If I try to reset dosnt work it is Stressing me out I will be phoning Council on the 1st of January how can I get them to change it Over.

Or move me to where the boiler will work consistently I cannot cope with the hassle of it been unpradictaball.

It must be frustrating to say the least, I doubt though that they will be working on January 1st, I'm also not sure that moving would be the answer, perhaps when we get the holidays over you could contact your local councillor (you should have three to chose from) the council switchboard will tell you how they can be contacted or even the website.

I'd echo @woodbine's advice here @Sparklebright63, see if you can contact your local council after the new year for some help and support. Do you have friends or family close by who could help out?

Perhaps you can ask about whether the council offer a service like the Priority Services Register? You can still sign up if you pay your bills through the housing association.

I can see how frustrated you are. In order to keep  you safe right now because I'm a member of the community I have to ask are you warm, have water and are able to make food and drink for yourself?

Things to do:

a) Phone (take the name of the person you speak to, create ownership of the issue) the Council, but back that up with an email (create a paper trail),

b) Email the housing officer at the Council, explain the complaint in full, i.e. history etc. Follow the Council's complaints procedure.
