Dear resident<br />
With so many council <strong>services</strong> available <strong>in</strong> L<strong>in</strong>colnshire, it’s not surpris<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that people sometimes fi nd it hard to work out who does what.<br />
Is it L<strong>in</strong>colnshire County <strong>Council</strong>? Perhaps your<br />
district, city or borough council? Maybe another<br />
organisation?<br />
Don’t worry. This simple A – Z guide to council<br />
<strong>services</strong> <strong>in</strong> L<strong>in</strong>colnshire has been put together to<br />
help you fi nd out with the m<strong>in</strong>imum <strong>of</strong> fuss.<br />
Simply look up the service you want <strong>in</strong> the<br />
alphabetical list. You’ll then fi nd a brief description,<br />
plus contact details like phone numbers, email<br />
addresses and websites.<br />
If you prefer to use the phone , just call the<br />
number given. If it’s a L<strong>in</strong>colnshire County <strong>Council</strong><br />
service, you’ll probably reach one <strong>of</strong> the specialist<br />
teams at our Customer Service Centre, who are<br />
ready and wait<strong>in</strong>g to help. The district councils<br />
have similar arrangements.<br />
Perhaps you’d rather send an email or look<br />
onl<strong>in</strong>e . That’s fi ne, too – it saves the council<br />
money and allows you to get <strong>in</strong>formation and<br />
access <strong>services</strong> whenever it suits you.<br />
So, welcome to our A – Z guide. We hope you’ll<br />
want to keep it by your phone or computer and<br />
use it whenever you have a council query.<br />
We’d also like to know if you th<strong>in</strong>k we could<br />
improve this guide. Just phone 01522 782060 or<br />
email customer_<strong>services</strong>@l<strong>in</strong>colnshire.gov.uk<br />
with your suggestion and we’ll try and <strong>in</strong>clude it<br />
next time.<br />
