Complaints process
If we are unable to resolve a customer’s dissatisfaction at the first point of contact, there is a two-stage complaints process to follow.
Stage 1
Once you’ve submitted your complaint, we will let you know that it’s been received within 5 working days.
Complaints will be investigated and a response will be sent to you within 20 working days.
Stage 2
If you are unhappy with the response from stage 1, you have 28 days to request a stage 2 review.
You will need to email or write to us explaining why you are dissatisfied and this request will then be reviewed by a senior council officer who has not been involved in your case before to reconsider your complaint.
We will send you a response within 20 working days or tell you if it will take longer and let you know when you can expect a full reply.
If you’re not happy with the outcome
If you are still not happy you can refer your complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman.
