Council telephone systems

We are moving to a new telephone system. This may cause some initial issues and disruption to calls while it is being set up. If you have any issues, you may wish to call back at another time. We appreciate your patience while we implement the new system and apologise for any disruption that you may experience. 

Delays to response times and processing

We're currently experiencing some technical issues with our document management system. This means our processing and response times are longer than usual. Our system provider is working to get this fixed as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.
