To @BpoolCouncil foa Enveco after trying to contact Blackpool Waste services and report a missed food caddy bin collection I shall, unfortunately, have to put it in the non recyclable bin 😢 Please DM me for details if there is a chance for pick up today thank you 🙂

@cleveleysnews Hi, thanks for raising this, we've reported it to the team for removal. The job reference number is 5429356.

Gynn Gardens today. Baffled as to why the artist censored the racial slur but thought the rest was ok. @BpoolCouncil could you sort this out and maybe kick the 3 drunks out while you're at it? They've been there since Tuesday.

@NickHastie4 Hi Nick, please email us at customer.first@blackpool.gov.uk and we'll be able to arrange this for you.

@BpoolCouncil Good morning. I've tried ringing quite a few times and nobody is ever available to take my call so it automatically hangs up. I have a bulky waste collection booked in but due to unforseen circumstances, I am trying to change the date of it. How do I do this please?

@SeasidersTango Hi @SeasidersTango thank you for raising this. After investigating, the works mentioned were not being carried out by Blackpool Council. Where works are led by Blackpool Council, we make every effort to give advance notice wherever possible.

@CallumFWilson Hi Callum, no - unlike your bins the food caddy will be collected at kerbside at the front of your property.

@BpoolCouncil regarding the new food collection. Leaflet says kerbside collection but our bins go out the back into an alley, do we follow the same procedure for our food bins?

@mattashby27 Hi Matt - illegal or nuisance parking can be reported by calling 01253 476395 or email parking.dispatch@blackpool.gov.uk.

@BpoolCouncil I was on hold for 40 minutes, got to position 1 in the queue, then the call was disconnected! I’ve called back, you claim you’re open till 5 yet ‘very busy’ and disconnected the call again. I have a very simple issue. You lot are infuriating!

@MooAndDrew Good morning, thanks for your feedback, we'll pass this on to the team.

@BpoolCouncil we have received a letter informing us of road improvement works being carried out, which is fantastic. I would however question the font size used (it looks 8/10) when producing the letter though. I would suggest this is very hard to read for many people.
