Why not tell us about your experience and help us improve what we do so we can provide you and others with a better service.
We will:

  • Listen to what you have to say
  • Learn from what you have told us
  • Improve our services as a result

To help us deliver outstanding services, please tell us what you think – whether it is a compliment, comment or complaint.

Where you have had a good experience in one of our services we would love to hear about it.

If you’d like to get in touch with us to give us feedback, give us a compliment, or even log a formal complaint (see our complaints policy here, and our whistleblowing policy here), you can do so by contacting us directly, telling someone from the council who is working with you, filling in a comment card in one of our services or calling: 01204 33 1111.
