Most Council offices are open at the following times:
8.30am - 5.15pm Monday - Thursday
8.30am - 4.45pm Friday
If you intend visiting any Council office, it's usually a good idea to ring beforehand, to check that the office is open or that the person you want to see is available. This will help ensure that your journey to the Council is not a wasted one.
The main Council telephone number for all services is (01202) 451451. Better still, if you have one, please use the "direct dial" number for the person you want to reach - this often saves time and your money. There is an answerphone service and emergency numbers available for outside normal office hours, and more details can be found in your local telephone directory.
