EXCLUSIVE: Residents today were enraged enough to complain about the misery of being under councils that have crashed and gone bust. MailOnline can show how parts of Birmingham, Nottingham, and Croydon have been run down as a result of major cuts to essential public services, such as bin collections, street lighting, libraries, and social care are among those that have been affected by authorities' bankruptcy. We found not only fury among the people of these areas of the country, but also a block of pedestrian high streets with boarded-up stores, mountains of garbage piled high, and even dimmed street lighting. Locals told how rundown their communities had become as council chiefs struggled to have the basics. They also expressed their dissatisfaction with increasing fears of safety in impoverished neighborhoods. In the three years, Woking, Thurrock, and Slough have all issued Section 114 notices, indicating that they have effectively gone bankrupt.
