What do our customers think about our service today?

Here are some interesting statistics and examples of compliments that we have recieved from satisfied customers about our Benefit Service.

Last year we received 400 compliments either by;

  • email
  • letters
  • thank you cards
  • surveys

A large number of these were taken from the three surveys that we do. These ask for comments on our face to face delivery, including our reception and visiting service. We also conducted a postal survey.

Many customers expressed their thanks for the help we had given to them and commented that they were able to answer their questions well. Others commented that we had been understanding and had put their minds at ease. Here are some individual examples to show what our customers say about us:

"Would like to comment on the change of opening hours, they are a massive improvement to the services the council provides"
