Council leaders say residents who can avoid attending should still contact customer services by other methods.

Hide AdCouncillor Jean Innes, the authority’s cabinet member for business transformation and customers, said: “We would encourage our customers to continue to email the council, call us or use our new online webchat function, which can be accessed through our website.
“However, we understand that some of our customers will always prefer to speak to our advisors face to face and we hope the timely reopening of the council’s Customer Service Centre will ensure that these customers get the support that they need.”
The centre is currently open Monday to Friday between 9am and 2pm, except Wednesdays when it is open from 10am to 2pm.
To ensure compliance with Government guidelines, there will be fewer enquiry desks and payment kiosks than would normally be available and customers will not be able to use public computers and public telephones.
