How hard is it to empty a wheelie bin?
Recycling collection no issues. General waste no show. I leave my bin out as I should, rubbish is all sorted as it should be with no more than 3 clean black bin bags. However my black wheelie bin just gets ignored. The collection team have to walk onto the main road in order to walk around my bin. We report the issue online and occasionally they turn up to empty it. Why can't I just phone up Torbay Council and speak to a human. So frustrating

Council should be ashamed of them self. Charging disabled people to park a having traffic wardens fine people that use disabled parking. I have never come across such a money grabbing council or low down money making tatics, to stoop as low to charge someone entitled to park due to mobility issues but when you do they fine you.

Made me pay 35 pound to park 6 hours not to mention being a long distance from where I needed to be when disabled parking was right next to destination needed all due to an airshow. First and last time I visit this place.

Spent over £50 on parking across Torquay, brixham and nearby locations. There was a fault with the ring go app for parking asking me to call a number which I did and paid for parking. It transpired that the telephone confirmation paid for parking at a different location in Torbay so was issued a fine. Torbay were still paid money for my parking so we’re not out of pocket but refused my appeal. Also the area in general is tired and appears neglected which is a shame and not how I remember it from visiting years ago.

Paignton beach disgusting full of seaweed.
Paignton is a tourist attraction so why can’t the Torbay Council clean up the beach.
We have just stayed in Paignton for a weekend in the lovely Ibis Hotel right across from the beach and when we went over what a shock not the nice clean beach I remember as a child.
Get your act together Torbay Council! Tourists won’t come back they will remember the lovely shops, Hotels but horrible beach which the tourists come for with their families.
I have pictures just totally a green beach , hardly any sand just covered in seaweed.

Seriously.... what do these people actually do? I have contacted them about fly-tipping -twice. No action and no response. Similarly a concern I raised about poor road conditions and a trip risk was ignored. Sadly, this council demonstrates a lack of regard for the wellbeing of the public and is contemptuous towards tax payers.

Don’t ever visit Torquay Paignton brixham or Dartmouth if you are disabled and use a chair or scooter honestly the worse place I have ever stayed miles and miles looking for a loo then they don’t take rare keys parking costs a blmn no concessions for disabled and none of the lifts work no dropped kerbs for miles it’s absolutely horrendous never again will I pay for the privelidge to stay here again !!!!!!

Landlord raised my rent and council refused to pay because it was more than property was worth. No one notified me and now I'm being evicted. They're responsible for my rent since I'm disabled and no one notified me that they quit paying. I can't get any help. Gonna be homeless in about a week

You pay Torbay Council for a permit to park, gladly take your money, receive confirmation, and then they you issue you with a penalty charge notice anyway.

Is this a scam to generate additional revenue? Or some unscrupulous individual out to hit targets?

Watch out for Civil Enforcement Officer CE0461 - clearly doesn’t understand how to perform their job. Should not be employed.
