Give feedback on our services

You can leave a comment, give us a compliment or make a complaint to help us improve our services.

You can also report a problem with a specific council service. For example, a broken streetlight or a missed bin collection. This is different to making a complaint and will help us resolve the issue faster.

You can report:

• problems on a road or street - including, potholes, street lights and fly-tipping
• problems about waste and recycling - including, bins that we've not collected
• problems about environmental health - including, noise, smells and light nuisance

You can contact us to appeal a fine or a decision or claim for damages.

• If you’ve received a Penalty Charge Notice for parking and think it's wrong you should use Challenge a Parking Fine.
• If you want to claim for damages for an injury or damage that happened to your vehicle or property you should use Claim for damage.
• If you want to appeal a school admission decision you should use Appeal an admission decision.

You can leave a comment on how we could improve our services.

All complaints received by the Council will be shared with and managed by the Complaints and Improvements team.

If you’ve had a good experience with our services, you can pay us a compliment.

If you are not satisfied with the service you receive from Buckinghamshire Council, you can open an official complaint. After acknowledging your complaint, we may take up to 20 working days to respond.
