Complain about a council service
If you feel we are doing something wrong, or have provided a poor service, please tell us, so we can put it right.
We are always striving to improve our services, so please let us know if you have service improvement suggestions.
The quickest way to sort out a problem is to let is know and give us a chance to put it right, before making a formal complaint - the best way to do this is to contact the team responsible for the service.
If we don't put things right, please submit a formal complaint, so we can look into your issue in more depth using our two-stage complaints process.
Before submitting a complaint, please also check the list below, which outlines things that are not handled through our complaints process.
Report a problem
