Council Information Points

A Council Information Point (CIP) at your local library bringing council services closer to home.

The CIP service acts as a link between customers and council services in providing easy access at a time and place to suit. We provide a 'first stop' customer enquiry/referral service for customers for all Council and non-Council enquiries.

Libraries have late evening openings and are also open at weekends so we can provide customers with the opportunity of accessing Council services at more convenient times and easier to get to locations.

Some of the services we can help you with:

• Taking non-cash payments - on all Council services such as Council Tax, rent, car parking fines, dog fouling fines, library charges i.e. book fines, audio visual loan hire, computer print-outs etc.
• Request a service and/or Report a Problem - submit reports about service requests for things such as bulky waste collection, request a new bin, report any problems with street lighting, potholes, highways, street lighting, dog fouling etc.
• Freephone - so you can contact other council services during normal office hours, such as Six Town Housing, Customer Support & Collection, Planning, etc. 
• Council forms - you can hand in completed Council forms and we can also provide assistance if you need help completing Council forms
• Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit - help with making your claim, photocopying and verifying supporting documentation and then forwarding to the appropriate Department 
• Bury Housing Options - advertise available council property, pick up or submit an application form for housing or help with expressing an interest in an available property
