Face to face

There are different types of locations across the county where our customers can get face to face service.

We have four main offices where you can get information on any council service and should be able to talk face-to-face with an expert in the area of your enquiry :

In addition, we have local customer service desks in Amesbury, Marlborough Library, Mere, and Salisbury Library, where you can get information about any council service, as well as help to contact services and make appointments at main offices.  

You can also visit other libraries, tourist information centres, town councils (north Wiltshire) and Salisbury City Council; here, staff will be able to give you information and help you to contact services.

At County Hall in Trowbridge, staff will be able to give you information, contact services on your behalf and make appointments for you.

Customer Response times

Telephone

We aim to answer calls within five rings (15 seconds). Libraries within one minute.

Our target is to answer 80% of all calls within five rings.

Letters and email

We aim to respond to correspondence within ten working days of receiving them. Sometimes, however, due to the nature of the enquiry, it takes longer than this to provide a full response. When this happens, it is our policy to acknowledge the correspondence within five days, then after ten days to send whatever information we have available and an estimated date for the full response, and then to complete the response as quickly as possible thereafter. Where legislation dictates otherwise, e.g., Freedom of Information, differing timescales will apply.
