Public Services Contact Centre

The Council currently publishes over 100 different phone numbers to contact us and you have told us that this can be confusing and you would prefer a reduced number of easy to recognise contact points.

Call Centre

We have a small number of telephone teams in operation and by December 2009 we will have brought a number of these together into one team. At the same time we are looking at other services that could be delivered by this team to try and make it easier for you to get an answer to a wide range of queries from one place, from one call.

Our plan over the next year is to create one “golden” number that you can use to access any Council service, with around 10 other numbers for the services that you contact most often. This will make it easier for you to find the right team, and will also mean that we can offer you a faster and more effective service when you do.

We will update this site with progress on developing the Contact Centre, but for now the main numbers to the Council are:

  • Environmental Services - 01942 404364
  • Housing Benefits & Council Tax Benefit - 01942 828644
  • Council Tax - 01942 828696
  • Adult Social Care - 01942 828777
