Context
The purpose of this Customer Insight report is to bring together the information collected about the customer experience of using Brighton & Hove City Council services in 2021/2022. This performance has been in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
By customer we mean any user of council services, whether voluntary or involuntary.
This includes:
- residents
- visitors
- businesses
- students
- service users and their representatives
This report presents what we currently know about our customer services. Our aim is to ensure we better understand the needs of all our customers, and to learn and grow consistently from the feedback we receive, in order to improve the customer experience. The report also includes information about the size of the customer base and transactional volumes for various services. Data presented in the report should be considered in that context.
The standards and principles within the promise do not only apply to staff who work directly with customers, but all staff who work for the council, including those in support services such as:
- Human resources
- IT and Digital
- Finance
- Legal
This ensures a consistency of approach and provides staff who do deal directly with customers the appropriate infrastructure, tools, and support to deliver the best customer experience.
Our Customer Experience Vision describes how we intend to deliver on the Customer Promise and has been similarly refreshed following customer feedback. These 2 documents are at the heart of our Customer Experience Strategy that was approved at the Policy and Resources Committee in December 2019.

Planned council wide improvements
Welcoming and accessible Customer Service Centres
Work to review the accessibility and usability of our customer service centres has already resulted in some improvements. This includes enhanced support to access council services digitally in both Brighton & Hove Customer Service Centres.
Customer Service advisors are available to help customers who need support to self-serve or who are experiencing any issues or barriers in accessing council services.
Review of forms and process to increase immediate resolution and prevention and ensure, if required, enquiries are passed to the most appropriate team in a timely way.
Planned future improvements
Modernising the self-help facilities in customer service centres:
- We provide desktop computers and flatbed scanners for customers to use. However as increasing numbers of people are more familiar with using their smartphones or tablets to go online, we are reviewing the equipment to make it as easy to use as possible.
- Reviewing internal and external signage for Customer Service Centres to make it easier to find and understand what help is available.
Exploring community access points
As most customers now access or contact services digitally, we are exploring having a greater geographic spread of council contact points across the city for people to use self-help facilities or get support to contact council services.
This measure will also contribute to our ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030, reducing the need for travel to access services. It will also help the council make best use of its existing property portfolio.
Continuous improvement of the council’s digital offer
The council is committed to providing comprehensive digital access to services, as this can be more convenient for customers - services can be accessed at any time, rather than having to wait in a telephone queue, or travel to a council building.
Reviewing and improving these services is a continuous process, based on customer and staff feedback and analysis of user journeys.
Recent improvements:
- Access to MyAccount from the home page of the council website and increased numbers of services available through MyAccount
- Improved website design and navigation, including easier to find contact details for services and a navigation menu on the left-hand side of every page, so you can see at a glance the information available in each section of the website.
Planned improvements:
- Upgrading the MyAccount application to improve customer journeys and improve product resilience
- All online forms available from MyAccount – this means that anyone logged into MyAccount won’t need to fill in their personal details each time they want to report or apply for something.
- Widening the use of the Customer Index, to make best use of council information systems and data for the benefit of customers.
