Compliments, complaints and freedom of information requests

Your feedback, compliments and complaints are important to us and can help us improve the services we provide to all our customers.

Compliments

We like to hear when we have done something well.

Send a council service a compliment

Make a complaint

When things go wrong, we aim to put things right. If we are unable to resolve your complaint on an informal basis, a formal complaints procedure is available. Our complaints policy provides details of the procedure.

You can make a complaint if we:

  • do something wrong
  • provide a poor standard of service
  • fail to do something we should have
  • do something we should not do.

It is not treated as a complaint when:

  • you are asking for a service such as reporting a faulty streetlight or a pothole
  • you are appealing against a decision which, although it is not the one you wanted, has been properly formed.

More detail about the complaint process is included in our how to make a complaint, complaints policy and unacceptable behaviour policy.


We have separate complaints procedures for adult social care and childrens services.
