Submit a Complaint

Overview

Please use this form if you wish to complain about council procedures or the services you receive.

The authority defines a complaint as:

"An allegation that, through action or inaction, the council, or any of its staff, failed to deliver a service in accord with the council's policy or agreed standards of service."

Dealing with a complaint is not in itself an appeal against a decision made by the council or its duties. For instance, criticism of a planning decision or an appeal against a parking fine would not be treated as a complaint, unless it is with regards to not following correct procedure.

If your complaint relates to the actions of a third party and you are requesting a service from the council to investigate - for example you wish to complain about hygiene standards in a food business or you believe an operator is breaching license or planning conditions - please contact the relevant service directly, use the search tool to find help with your concern, or call the council on 01789 267575.
