Some callers experience long wait times, particularly during peak hours or after public holidays. To minimize wait times, it is advisable to call during off-peak hours. Additionally, the standard phone line may not be fully accessible for those with hearing impairments. An alternative number, 028 9027 0405, is available for deaf or hearing-impaired users. For raising concerns or making complaints, providing detailed descriptions and any relevant evidence can help expedite the process. The council aims to acknowledge receipt of concerns within seven days and respond to complaints at Stage 1 within five working days.
