Channel Choice and Telephone Access Purpose The purpose of this report, in light of a continuous decline in demand, is to propose reduced telephone access hours to the public. This will allow focus to shift to digital channels, where demand is increasing and make the Council more efficient.
Recommendations That Cabinet resolves to: 1) Agree the reduced telephone access hours, on a trial basis, with effect from Monday 16th October 2023 for a period of six months, and 2) Receive a further report, detailing the findings and recommendations from the trial, to a Cabinet meeting early in May 2024. |
