Service standards

Several of our teams have developed service standards to set out the level of service you should expect.

These service standards are in addition to the council-wide Customer Care Charter and outline:

  • the individual services the team provides
  • their response targets
  • what they will do
  • what they cannot do
  • how you can help
  • contact details for more information.

You can download our available service standards using the links on this page.
