Recently had a plastering job by my local councils plastering contractors, I know you will probably say well it's the council what do you expect but the contractor is still getting paid by the council and should do a reasonable job and take pride in the work I absolutely wouldn't be proud if this was my work, bearing in mind the contractor has already been back once to make it right after I said I wasn't happy, I will attach pictures below for you perusal, many thanks for looking.

I am no plasterer, but I could do much better than the examples in your photos.
I judged, from the lack of plaster on it - that the handrail had been removed to plaster.
Pete01 I do not pay for repairs being a council tenant, but obviously the plasterer still gets paid by the council and should still do a half decent job, I am going through the complaint route for the second time with this job, the contractor has already been back to it once to make it right supposedly.
I do appreciate all your replies and it seems we are all in agreement it's a shocking job, I have already contacted a professional plasterer to do a report if needed but obviously there is a cost involved, if the inspector doesn't agree with me I will go down the report route, I had no choice in the plastering firm but I will not be having the same cowboy to rectify it they have already had one chance to do so when I complained the first time and they still left it like this again.

You don't need a professional plasterer to do a report! The finish is not acceptable, your local authority inspector will agree with that.
Thank you @Alastairreid I'm hoping they do when they come on Friday, I'm getting angrier and angrier looking at it .
