these; and

Compliments / Complaints Process
What is a complaint?
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction, however
made, about the standard of service, actions or lack of
action by the Council or it’s staff affecting an individual
customer or group of customers. A complaint is not an
initial request for service or information, a request for a
new service provision or a request for information relating
to the Council’s policies/practices.
To request a service e.g. advise of a broken water
main or fallen tree on a road please
contact us.
Compliments / Complaints / Suggestion

you can submit your feedback using the following two
