Making a complaint
We take all complaints seriously and try to resolve them as early as possible.
The first step is usually to speak to someone from the service you're unhappy with. There are a number of ways you can direct your enquiries or requests to the relevant service.
You can report common issues online (such as potholes, missed bins or broken street lights) or you could:
- search our website
- email contact@dumgal.gov.uk
- call 030 33 33 3000
- visit a Customer Service Centre
