We’re delighted to be testing a new search engine that answers your questions. Instead of typing single words, try entering a full sentence such as “What do I do if I’m worried about being homeless?” or “How do I get help to apply for planning permission?” We’d really appreciate your feedback on our new search engine, so we can tailor it to your needs and continue making improvements. Please let us know your thoughts by filling in our feedback form.
