Why does the Council need a centralised customer system?
There are many advantages both for you and the Council, including: • You will only ever have to tell us once if you make any changes to your personal details • You can be sure we have up-to-date details for all your council business • You won’t have to repeat all the details of a previous enquiry – so each time you get in touch we’ll be picking up from where you left off • We have less chance of making mistakes as we are only updating one record • We will have a better understanding of the how our services are used so we can plan and target our resources where they are most needed Why do you need my personal information’?
