We want everyone who contacts us to receive excellent customer service. We aim to:
* Create an organisational culture that always puts the customer first;
* Provide easy access to all our services and other public services;
* Resolve enquiries right the first time;
* Provide high-quality cost-effective services.
We will do this by:
* Implementing consistent customer service standards and training our staff in their use;
* Seeking regular feedback from customers and using this feedback to improve;
* Establishing a customer service centre to make it easier for people to contact the council and have their enquiry resolved;
* Seeking to join up with other public services to provide a better service for the customer;
* Redesigning the way we work around the needs of our customers
