Are you living in a council property?
Have you got essential repairs that need doing?
Have you put in a request for these repairs?
Have you had any feedback?
If not, go through the appropriate channels to make a complaint.
I know from my experience of living in a council property that repairs were always done.
Different repairs have different time scales under which they are supposedly done.
Non urgent repairs are done on a rota basis, not sure what the limits are on that now, but presumeably it's in your tenancy agreement somewhere.
If you think the Rules and Regulations are not being applied properly, complain, take action the appropriate way. Make yourself heard.
Nothing ever gets done by people simply leaving things to someone else. We'd never get anywhere that way.
Be pro-active.
