In December 2007 a new telephony system was installed to improve our service to customers.  This system enables us to manage our calls more effectively:
  • easier access for customers to contact the Council
  • 90% of customers get through to an operator first time
  • average waiting time of under 1 minute
  • we offer an out-of-hours messaging service
All customer contact received via our Call Centre or our Connections offices is documented** to ensure the information is actioned by, or forwarded to, the relevant department, as necessary.  Should you contact us at a later date we are able to access all previous enquiries you have made.  This provides up-to-date information regarding the progress of your enquiry.
** All information held is in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

Key Facts:

  • We aim to resolve 80% of your enquiries at the first point of contact.
  • We answer up to 1,900 calls per week
  • Saturday mornings are our quietest time
