Manchester City Council

The Council and democracy Before you submit your complaint

Responding to complaints is currently taking longer than our usual timescales.

This is due to exceptionally high levels of demand.

If your complaint includes a request for the Council to take action:

It may be quicker to use the appropriate online service on our website rather than submitting a complaint. You can find services from the homepage or by using the search bar to find what you need.

If you have already submitted a complaint:

It is in our queue. We are working through complaints in date order. Please allow up to 10 working days for an acknowledgement.

Please:

  • do not submit the same complaint more than once
  • do not send extra information through this form about a complaint you've already submitted. We will contact you if we need more information.

This can slow down processing.
