Virtual Contact Centre
Our incredibly hard working colleagues in the Contact Centre have now moved to a Virtual Contact Centre model, allowing them to work safely and efficiently from their homes during the COVID-19 situation.
The new system has now been successfully implemented and our staff are working hard to answer your queries as efficiently as possible.
The team will continue to concentrate its focus on the more vulnerable members of our community.
Currently we are unable to process payments for some council services. Where possible if you do wish to pay for a service, your call will be transferred to the automated payment line.
