Customer Contact Centre
Our Customer Contact Centre was launched in March 2004, providing you with a single point of contact for accessing Council services over the phone. The new Contact Centre aims to deliver improvements in the way people are dealt with when they telephone the Council. Hopefully, no more engaged tones or being passed from one person to another – simply contact the Contact Centre and one of our customer service advisors will be there to help deal with your enquiry. The Centre is open from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday.
