We changed that headline at Peter's yard to
Council chiefs' underlings to ignore nuisance complainers again
Or more succinctly
Council chiefs' underlings to continue to ignore nuisance complainers
Though I should stop writing EEN headlines as one I did as a laugh has appeared as a quote in a more obscure publication. True.
A serious point is of course where the tipping point is established between legitimate critical feedback and abusive callers.
All organisations these days have systems for dealing with frequently argumentative customers. The widespread availability of free landlines whilst you can still monitor incoming calls on your mobile must have increased this.
The missing railing is a bad one of course. And one person's nuisance caller might be another person's whistleblower?
My brief visits to housing benefit etc left me with the view that if you needed the council to react quickly it was a good strategy to arrive at office with large dog or if these were forbidden somehow by security a crying baby?
