Service Update: Wednesday 8 April 2020
Due to the current situation relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, the council is having to reduce or stop services.
We aim to continue to issue Blue Badges and Bus Passes, however this may not be possible, as swiftly as we would like, as council staff are having to prioritise essential services. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, we hope to return to usual service standards as soon as possible.
If you apply by post there may be a delay in processing your application as we are reducing staff time in the office.
Please apply online when possible or email us a scanned copy of your application.
The customer service counter is closed.
