Complaints procedure

Making a complaint

Before you make a formal complaint about a council service, check if you can resolve it by talking to the person concerned. We'll always try to resolve issues if we can by putting it right if we have got something wrong. If this doesn't resolve the matter, use the form below to make your complaint. 

If you're complaining on behalf of someone else we need their signed permission. You can upload a scan or photo of a document at the top of the form. 

Once we have received your complaint we'll contact you within 10 working days.
