Before you send it
- Say exactly where: lane, landmark, pole number or house numbers. A worker must be able to find the spot from your letter.
- One problem per letter. A letter about lights, drains and dogs together gets passed around and solved by no one.
- Signatures of a few neighbours make a complaint harder to ignore.
- Many cities also take complaints on an app, website or helpline. Register it there too and note the complaint number.
- Keep a stamped copy. If nothing happens, write again to the same officer and give the date of this letter.
What to attach
- Photos of the problem, with the date
- Copy of earlier complaints, if any
