Have your say

We want to provide the best possible service to all our customers. You are the best people to tell us how well we are doing.

Compliments

It’s good to hear from customers who tell us when we’ve done a good job, so we can learn from that and spread good practice to other parts of the Council.

For more information please visit the Compliments page.

Complaints

It is also important that our customers tell us when we don’t provide a good service, so that we can apologise, put it right and try to stop it happening again.

For more information please visit the Complaints page - however if your complaint is about a councillor you will need to read our How to complain about a councillor page. The process for this sort of complaint is different.

Suggestions

If you have an idea that you think could improve the way we do things - don’t keep it to yourself, tell us! With your help we will keep improving.

For more information please visit the Suggestions page.
