AB superbly exposes just how incredibly incompetent local councils are. The way that 3 junior school children sit behind a glass wall and directed AB how to use the phone around the corner from them to make a complaint and then be subjected to the usual technological stupidity with ages of waiting time, with no remedy to the issue, and then being told to directly ring the council's contractors ... Absolute insanity. Well done, AB. You exposed this very well 👍
They shouldn't even need to be told. They have an army of staff out and about each day, they should proactively check and maintain the public infrastructure. If those morons at the reception are in the shop window, what an earth do they keep behind the scenes?
Why have the police not reported the obstruction. Why have the traffic wardens not reported it. Are you telling me the authorities are incompetent. What are their excuses. Maybe it’s a ruse to stop the homeless sleeping there
I really do by now have to wonder why I bother paying taxes for anything in this country! Doesn't matter what concerns or issues are raised. Thanks AB for highlighting just where this country is going, down the crapper!
Always know when a women doesn't know what she's on about... 'I'm not arguing with you'.. Comes back a few minutes later, loses the debate... 'I'm not arguing with you' 😂
20 minutes, which is typical of the councils all over this country. They all need the sack or their wages deducted, and Pensions stopped. Then, put on a bonus system that would speed them up. Well done, AB
Local authorities' have one gear, and it's a crawler gear. In the real world they'd be out on their ear. Lazy, slow, unhelpful, and from my experience cold empty people. About 12 weeks ago i emailed my council to report an incident of flytipping i caught on my CCTV. Took 4 weeks to get a reply, which i replied back to within 5 minutes, only to wait another 4 weeks for a reply. Again, i replied within minutes of receiving their email only to wait 3 weeks for a reply. It's nuts. Another enquiry we made re our council tax took 8 months for a reply. Yes, 8 months. Stick these people in a private sector job and they'd get exposed and sacked.
You are Spot On AB. The councils make life difficult for us public to request information and report problems. Yet they make taking our money very very easy. What a sad state of affairs. Keep up the amazing work in exposing the uselessness of the system👍🏽
Shocking customer service by the girl on the desk of the council building. More interested in the sound of her own voice than helping anyone. This video really highlighted the cannot be arsed attitudes of all people that should be helping. The video also highlighted why nothing gets done properly in this country also. This audit surpassed the conversations on the street to showing up complete failures of the systems we rely on and get taxed on. Well done AB.
Try contacting the council for a issue with the bins and rubbish collection, they'll wander off to put on the SS uniform, and their answer will always be "no", and we can't / won't help you, it's all your fault. Don't even get me started on recycling, it's NOT illegal not to recycle in the UK, but the councils "polices" seemingly supercede UK law, you phone in a complaint, they refuse to help you and just hang up the phone. Lucky for us eh,that we don't pay for rubbish to be taken away. It's free. 🙄.
This is so typical of the way councils operate now. Every problem is never their problem and if you want anything done you have to do all the work. Invoice them for a rebate on your council tax.
All she did was order him to go phone them himself when she should have taken down the complaint and sorted it. Its all you need to speak to this team speak to that team bla bla bla.

Sulky school girl receptionist: " I can see that none of them are on their phone so call them again" calls them again, Enoronmental health: "I'll give you the number of OUR contractor so YOU can phone them yourself" WTF! 😑😑😑
because people in the UK don't come to the job center to look for a job just to get out of the job and get more benefits, which often leads to conflicts why half of the job center in the UK doesn't have windows ;)? Here people come to argue and tear their mouths out, for a normal person working and earning money is a normal thing but not for a pathologist who treats it as a punishment because why work when you can live on taxpayers' money and being about 30 years old not even a full year worked, and all these people can do is smoke a joint, get the most kids for more profits and act like monkeys in the zoo, then there are kids who have 5 dads. Britain is getting worse every year.
prime example of how useless every council is..... they employ hundreds of people to just pass the buck and make it as hard as possible to get things done, 99% off time and effort by council admin staff is spent on ways to avoid doing work.....
It's astonishing how convoluted reporting a simple repair....how much of taxpayers money is being thrown away ? Imagine those with communication difficulties,mental health problems, etc trying this or trying to access any other public services. Maybe just do a full audit 9n .... council tax enquiries,repairs,benefits,g.p, dentists.... everything is virtually Inaccessible a lot of the time....very sad....love your work pal ❤
If only everything else was as easy nowadays. Oh wait, it is!!! This is the same everywhere you go. The most valuable commodity on Earth is time, and these "workers" seem to be put on this planet with the sole purpose of wasting it.
Wow. I'm retired from local gov here in the States. Back in the day, we had a "no wrong doors" policy. You could report something to anyone & they would take the ball & run with it.
That’s in the US. Completely different work ethic here especially when it comes to Government workers. Government workers here are shiftless lazy useless oxygen thieves. It’s just a form of welfare.
This reminds me of years ago when I was a teenager working in a supermarket. If a customer didn't know where something was we would take them to the actual item they wanted on the shelf. Nowadays the staff just point in the general direction and grunt. I too have worked for local government in the UK and it really was this bad even back then. I always estimated that you could fire two thirds of the staff and it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever!!
@@spiritusinfinitus Every time I get groceries I’m reminded of the absolutely mindless work ethic in the UK. Customer bags their own groceries which means I have to wait five minutes for each customer to bag themselves. Longer when it’s some old lady. The cashier works two minutes to ring up, then takes a break for the bagging process. They love it too, they will never change it. Hiring a bag boy would mean faster lines which means higher sales but nope - they will never do that. Keep the pace nice and slow.
@@muckraker7942 You're right.. The supermarkets are rammed full all the time anyway so they know they've got your money anyway regardless of how long it takes everyone to have to wait patiently in queues, so they have zero incentive to improve the customer experience. The only incentive is the rare occasion where there is competition from other stores which treat their customers better. But, this seems to be non-existent because everyone follows the same business model!
It makes you mad, you report something to the council and they pass you on. The first person you spoke to should ha e taken the complaint and she should have rang the contractors, they are the people that are supposedly working for the council and yet they want members of the public doing their work for them 😡. They are aware there is a problem there I am sure, so they need to address the drainage issue and also keep the tunnel free from rubbish, it's a disgrace that people pay so much council tax and have to do everything for them... Sorry AB, it makes my blood boil 😂
Great job AB! I am from the states and I love watching your adventures around the UK and how the British terminology on certain things is so different from ours here. I have been watching your videos for several years! Keep up the great work you are doing.
These councils are not fit for purpose, what ever happened to customer service? The staff should be reporting that rubbish, not the residents or visitors. It seems that no-one wants to do their job these days.
there are only 3 countries in the entire world where you need permission to film in public, why does everyone think they have a right to privacy in public? boggles the mind
In Portugal you are not allowed to film public if you target specifically someone. Only allowed in public settings for tourist purposes. Film like you see in audits, most definitely not in Portugal.
Typical petty woman leaving the conversation when she has spoke whether right or wrong, and this type of vindictive person works with vulnerable unemployed people!
Thank you AB the service you doing for common mand and trying your best to defend common man rights. We all watch all this videos enjoy a lot and we laugh but we forget and we dont realise the risks you go through and how much you are actually halping the community to protect their rights. I am not a resident of UK but been there few times to visit family and friend and I reside in Brisbane Australia and I thank you from my bottom of my heart for your service and helping the community and I think the UK residents need to help and make your efforts fruitful.
Would love to be a fly on the wall when the parking police watch AB's "audit" and hear themselves say "what happens at the end of the year is the council get an audit". This then followed by AB's quizzical sounding reply of "an audit???". Classic! Re the subway, all public bodies have a statutory duty to take and respond to public complaints. The way Dartford responded to this was disgusting and they should be reported to the Local Governent Ombudsman for it. All I see here is a bunch of people paid to do nothing other than sit there telling the public that everyting is someone else's problem. They take our council tax so they should also take our complaints about failings in the services we pay for.
This one is a very good audit. Please do Havering council in Romford next. They are quick to send you threatening letter whenever you miss your council tax payments but never answer the phone when you need anything from them.
Power to you AB, using your channel for good and highlighting an issue, we should all complain. You are bang on and I hope you do more videos like this 👍
We are heading faster than anyone can imagine into a technological world that is ruining humanity. You've hit the nail on the head with this video AB 👍🏻 fines for everything in this digital open air prison but when you want to complain about the state of this country and try to improve thing's it falls on deaf ears, really strange that 🤔. Great video as always, keep up the good work 👍🏻 love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻
Well done AB, another good informative video. I like the way the silver van driver got in and drove off quick. That's the way to do it, don't get into any conversation with these traffic wardens, get in and go quick, if you get back to your motor before that tickets put on that screen. They have to put that ticket on your screen to complete the job -
.. t'is remarkable how in reality someone recording incognito is no issue yet someone who's open about their recording is an absolute no-no. You'd think they'd realise this absurdity and reluctantly [or not] accept that, given the advances in technology, recording can't be stopped. But.. that would require brain cells I guess. _P.S: appreciate your caring for the community and all that in trying to sort that under-walkway/crossway. Being a permanent wheelchair user it frustrates as you could imagine. There, it seems, no one gives a shit, that'd clearly been like that for an eternity._
Now we can clearly see in this case that its the DWP manager who is the big bad bully .A vile demeanour to be displaying in a forward facing public role .
She says she can't ring them it's not an option, well sitting there for 20 minutes and nobody answered wasn't an option either, no wonder nothing gets done, piss take 😂🤷♂️
AB take me on as an apprentice I’ve got the attention to detail, and also a great ability to wind people up all at the same time I like you MY G AB good job 👊🙏
Still people think their permission is necessary to be photographed. My theory is that those working in JC’s don’t want their friends knowing they work there - that’s why they kick off so badly! 😂😂😂
Imagine back in the day going into a council building to point out a serious problem like this and getting that response, really does sicken me the sheer laziness and rudeness of today’s millennials, a good smack back in the early 2000s like we had back in the 1980s and this would not be happening, the world is doomed and there is no going back I’m just happy I can remember a happier time 👍
Hi AB Great work as always. Interestingly there is a article about the underpass on Kent Online. Apparently there going to fill it in. Thank you for the great content. Regards. Gavin
Mr AB, quite a few of the posters had QR codes to scan for jobs and information, how are you supposed to scan them unless you have your phone out and camera on?
And the Silver van getting a ticket then broke the law by driving up a no entry! Good old Dirtford🤣🤣 wish I’d know you were coming to visit us AB!! I’m gutted I missed you now 🤣🤣🤣🤣brilliant mate. Great vid. 🤣🤣💪💪
Great point about the council being quick to take money,but when you ring them the make it hard,or do it online and not everyone has access to online ,total joke
@Di Strust Because you should as an adult be fully able to do basic level of self service instead of expecting the council to spoon feed you constantly.
Yeah they are good quality, me myself I use the bear grylls spy glasses which are pretty good, they give you an hour's worth of filming until the battery runs out of charge.
Wow, just wow ! How you were treated by those bone idle entitled kids at the council was absolutely disgraceful ! The people of Dartford deserve a better service , where does the money go. ? How you kept your cool was impressive, I’d have been escorted out 😂 Fantastic audit ..again
Dartford Council needs to shake up its act disgraceful way to treat a member of the public who is actually doing their job for them in reporting a hazard of health and safety concern affecting the taxpaying public. Council should get out of their building,be proactive in observing the state of their communities and acting to resolve issues quickly. They have now used systems that discriminates against the public from timeously accessing public services,what do you do if you do not have a computer to report problems,wasting everyone's time in office to report by phone concerns.I would make each of these councillors take it in turns to man a telephone 24/7 to be accessible to the public with any issues regarding the community.Taxpayers deserve better than this from publically funded employees. Disgraceful, so much for progress! All these public employees should be made to go down and clear up this underpass there seems to be far too many of them with little to do, as you know many hands make light work.Are council staff with BWC not obliged to inform the public that they are recording them?.
Great respect AB. If I were to engage with these U....Id...s I would say much more, esp about G4S. Its long due time, these corporatised opportunists dressed up as councils are brought to heal. Many thanks, made me smile.
The Jobcentre stuff is just ridiculous. They use privacy as an excuse when they're getting their own GDPR back to front. Fault reporting has just become a lottery these days. Councils make it as difficult as possible. Pride in appearance and performance had gone out of the window and the tax payer is just treated as a nuisance. Traffic Supervisor on the ball with his own GDPR knowledge was a classic!
I worked at a joke centre down south in Havant and security (all 3 of them) spent most of their day in their office watching TV, drinking coffee, and heading off into town to do their shopping. Cushy number.

Good to see your tax money at work! WTF do we need councils for when they just outsource it all?
How Incredibly useless and unhelpful the three of them were. Typical council 🤷♀️
Why are we paying these traitor councils any of our hard earned money ? What is it they even do ?
Absolutely ridiculous they won’t deal with their own problems. Asking AB to report it at home is an absolute joke.

Well done AB, another good informative video. I like the way the silver van driver got in and drove off quick. That's the way to do it, don't get into any conversation with these traffic wardens, get in and go quick, if you get back to your motor before that tickets put on that screen. They have to put that ticket on your screen to complete the job -
Hi bro how are you please tell about jobd opportunities and accommodation
YO AB!! .That memo from the DWP is like the NPCC memo.. it's a big help, less agro! 😂👌😂. Utmost respect, bro!👊💪
That black g4s guy is one in a million, what a gent.
.. t'is remarkable how in reality someone recording incognito is no issue yet someone who's open about their recording is an absolute no-no. You'd think they'd realise this absurdity and reluctantly [or not] accept that, given the advances in technology, recording can't be stopped. But.. that would require brain cells I guess. _P.S: appreciate your caring for the community and all that in trying to sort that under-walkway/crossway. Being a permanent wheelchair user it frustrates as you could imagine. There, it seems, no one gives a shit, that'd clearly been like that for an eternity._
I enjoy that your trying to sort the rubbish situation out because so many are not doing their job.
Now we can clearly see in this case that its the DWP manager who is the big bad bully .A vile demeanour to be displaying in a forward facing public role .
She says she can't ring them it's not an option, well sitting there for 20 minutes and nobody answered wasn't an option either, no wonder nothing gets done, piss take 😂🤷♂️
Computer says No
Yo AB.
Keep up the good work.
Big love AB.
AB take me on as an apprentice
I’ve got the attention to detail, and also a great ability to wind people up all at the same time I like you MY G AB good job 👊🙏
Still people think their permission is necessary to be photographed. My theory is that those working in JC’s don’t want their friends knowing they work there - that’s why they kick off so badly! 😂😂😂
Typical nationwide councils. No phuquer wants to do anything.
Don't film the manager, she signs on in Purfleet.
Imagine back in the day going into a council building to point out a serious problem like this and getting that response, really does sicken me the sheer laziness and rudeness of today’s millennials, a good smack back in the early 2000s like we had back in the 1980s and this would not be happening, the world is doomed and there is no going back I’m just happy I can remember a happier time 👍
👍👍
The 80's Thatcherite era was a good time? Yeah, for the yuppies.
12:50 the most slick, unnoticeable, almost impossible to miss transition from one door to the other, woman's a spy
You should have pointed out the cameras on the ceiling and asked her if she had asked any of the public if they wanted to be filmed.
Very good point!
The next visitor signing in must never be able to see the personal details of previous visitors , a clear breach 😮
Hi AB
Great work as always.
Interestingly there is a article about the underpass on Kent Online. Apparently there going to fill it in.
Thank you for the great content.
Regards.
Gavin
Mr AB, quite a few of the posters had QR codes to scan for jobs and information, how are you supposed to scan them unless you have your phone out and camera on?
And the Silver van getting a ticket then broke the law by driving up a no entry! Good old Dirtford🤣🤣 wish I’d know you were coming to visit us AB!! I’m gutted I missed you now 🤣🤣🤣🤣brilliant mate. Great vid. 🤣🤣💪💪
What does he mean, "do you want a mask"? When was this recorded? I thought we've stopped all that ***t
I never started with that BS, what's wrong with people? 🙄
My doctor's surgery still insists that a mask is worn while in the building
@@Twobee-sf4ml Tell them you're exempt.
@@Twobee-sf4ml just say no.
@@boztec7187 they have your medical records at the touch of a button
Great point about the council being quick to take money,but when you ring them the make it hard,or do it online and not everyone has access to online ,total joke
It’s all a deliberate attempt to stop you bothering them. It’s so stressful, it’s a complete waste of time!
@@distrust9404 yep 👍
@Di Strust Because you should as an adult be fully able to do basic level of self service instead of expecting the council to spoon feed you constantly.
AB, what spyglasses do you use? They seem very good quality
Yeah they are good quality, me myself I use the bear grylls spy glasses which are pretty good, they give you an hour's worth of filming until the battery runs out of charge.
Wow, just wow ! How you were treated by those bone idle entitled kids at the council was absolutely disgraceful ! The people of Dartford deserve a better service , where does the money go. ? How you kept your cool was impressive, I’d have been escorted out 😂 Fantastic audit ..again
‘That’s not an option’…….what a slapped arse she is 😡
There's a reason why Dartford is known as Dirtford, that underground passage and the way council deal with queries is part and parcel to the name!
All respect to the black G4S guy this is a top video A.B good to see you putting people in there place for a change 😄
The council's are a waste of time. 3 of them sat there doing nothing
Playing Solitaire, doing their online shopping or watching porn …
I love when you upload a new vid. Always a great watch 👍
Where's your wig 😂😂😂😂 AB always kills it 😂😂👍🇬🇧
Dartford Council needs to shake up its act disgraceful way to treat a member of the public who is actually doing their job for them in reporting a hazard of health and safety concern affecting the taxpaying public.
Council should get out of their building,be proactive in observing the state of their communities and acting to resolve issues quickly.
They have now used systems that discriminates against the public from timeously accessing public services,what do you do if you do not have a computer to report problems,wasting everyone's time in office to report by phone concerns.I would make each of these councillors take it in turns to man a telephone 24/7 to be accessible to the public with any issues regarding the community.Taxpayers deserve better than this from publically funded employees. Disgraceful, so much for progress!
All these public employees should be made to go down and clear up this underpass there seems to be far too many of them with little to do, as you know many hands make light work.Are council staff with BWC not obliged to inform the public that they are recording them?.
Looking forward to another video of yours 👏
Love the counsel funeral music ,just before you jump ,because of waiting
She doesn't wanna argue with you, but keeps clacking her teeth together at you
Great respect AB. If I were to engage with these U....Id...s I would say much more, esp about G4S.
Its long due time, these corporatised opportunists dressed up as councils are brought to heal.
Many thanks, made me smile.
There are photographers who specialise in photographing public, they are legally allowed to as well
The Jobcentre stuff is just ridiculous. They use privacy as an excuse when they're getting their own GDPR back to front. Fault reporting has just become a lottery these days. Councils make it as difficult as possible. Pride in appearance and performance had gone out of the window and the tax payer is just treated as a nuisance. Traffic Supervisor on the ball with his own GDPR knowledge was a classic!
Another job centre full of security guards.. Great job if you can get it 👍
I worked at a joke centre down south in Havant and security (all 3 of them) spent most of their day in their office watching TV, drinking coffee, and heading off into town to do their shopping. Cushy number.
The guy at the end trying to explain what an audit is to auditing britain! How funny🤣🤣🤣
School kids working in council office,bring your kid to work day
They'll take the flooded complaint seriously after this I can guarantee
You don't need permission to record the evidence of someone's unlawful and potentially aggressive actions.
Hi AB, Keep going my friend. Greetings from Çhile.
according to the clock on the wall it was 14 minutes, not 20 - but it probably felt like 20. great video 👍
To renew your SIA license they have made it compulsory to update your training. The training included that photography is suspicious and must be questioned
Questioned not stopped big difference.
@@stuartb4525 you would need to stop and interfere to question. What next, bananas are suspicious and must be questioned?
Something similar to this happened in West Sussex where the underpath was flooded and then the young man crossed the road and was hit by a car which led to him sadly dying
"You forgot your wig upstairs!" 😅😅
AB no BS like always this is a very positive video you made one bloke down under very super happy thanks AB
Regards Dave from Melbourne
The driver who kissed his teeth at you is a savage haha, great content as usual
"Job" Centres the gift that just keeps on giving!!
This is typical of councils easy enough to take your money 💰 but when it comes to direct action on actually problems they honestly couldn't careless
Reporting that flooded subway , was a waste of time it makes me why we pay council tax if you was to fall behind your rent or council tax they are there straight away it's disgusting .
Lady says 0 3 thousands and AB proceeds to write 0 3 hundred 😂😂😂 classic 😂😂
Yes CLASSIC ..0300,👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
