Consumer Complaint

We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the district council by you - preferably in the form of a letter (with proof of delivery). If this is unsuccessful and if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
