1.1 The Council will treat all members of the public in a courteous and professional manner. It will recognise their needs as an individual or as part of a local community.  It will always try to offer a way forward on the particular issue being raised.

  • Provide information in accordance with its Publication Scheme
  • Respect confidentiality unless it is legally required to disclose information
  • Deliver its services in accordance with stated standards
  • Return telephone calls within one working day
