A Council Information Point at your local library – bringing council services closer to home

As an extension to the services the library currently offers customers can  now make non-cash payments for all Council services which includes Council Tax, rent, car parking fines, dog fouling fines etc.  We can also take payments for all library charges such as - book fines, audio visual loan hire, computer print-outs etc.   Payments can be made during the times the library is open including the late evening openings and at weekends. Customers can also access other Council services by either using the Freephone situated in the library or by asking a member of staff in the library for help.  We offer a quality 'First Stop' customer enquiry/referral service by assisting with more Council and non-Council enquiries. We can also accept all completed Council forms or staff can help you with filling in these forms. We can also photocopy and verify any documentation needed in support of any applications which we can then forward to the appropriate Council Department on your behalf.
