Slough Council is incredibly frustrating. I reached out to request permission to own a dog, but after a week without a response, I sent a follow-up email. They claimed it would take 5 working days, but it’s now been 15! Where’s my reply? I even tried calling, but ended up on hold for an hour and 45 minutes before giving up. I just don’t have time for this. I really need that permission today. I’m fed up!

It’s understandable to feel frustrated with slow response times, especially when dealing with important matters like pet ownership. This situation highlights a common challenge many residents face with local councils: administrative delays can significantly impact daily life. It might be helpful to explore if there are alternative contact methods, such as visiting the local office in person or reaching out to a council member via social media, which sometimes can expedite responses. Additionally, engaging with local community groups or online forums might provide insights or even support in navigating the process more effectively. Hopefully, you’ll receive a positive update soon—thanks for sharing your experience, as it sheds light on areas where councils could improve their responsiveness for residents.

Sometimes, direct engagement with elected representatives can expedite matters or at least bring more attention to the issue.
