How does it work?
On entry to the Civic Centre you will be greeted by a member of our customer service team who will be able to deal with your enquiry, issue a ticket to use other council or specific services or signpost. We also have a self-serve ticket machine to gain a ticket yourself.
A ticket enables us to monitor your waiting time and ensure your ticket number is called in turn for the relevant service by an automatic calling system which will also display your number and the relevant customer service booth available on a visual display board.
Booths offer the advantage of a one to one conversation with a trained assistant. Should further privacy be required interview rooms are available against availability.
Some specialist services may require you to make an appointment with a specific officer or team this can be arranged by any member of our customer service team.
