│ │ │ Please provide email and telephone number. The Council │ │ │
│ │ │ does not publish direct contact details for staff below │ │ │
│ │ │ the level of Head of Service, including email addresses │ │ │

│ │ │ address]).  This helps to ensure that customers are │ │ │
│ │ │ always directed to the appropriate person and that │ │ │
│ │ │ e-mail correspondence is routed correctly.  It also │ │ │
│ │ │ ensures that any staff moves do not affect the public's │ │ │
│ │ │ ability to contact the Council and gain appropriate │ │ │
│ │ │ information.   │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ Please find below the relevant Head of Service for the │ │ │
│ │ │ service you refer to.  In addition, further advice on │ │ │
