Emergencies

Outside of office hours and on public holidays, you can phone us in an emergency on 0300 303 8389.

An emergency might be finding broken glass or discarded needles on the street, a dangerous tree, or a stray dog.

If you’re a council tenant, an emergency might be unsafe electrics or loss of electricity, water, or gas. It could also be leaking water, a blocked drain or toilet (if there is no other toilet available), or an insecure lock.

For housing emergencies outside of office hours, you can call us on 0330 053 8109.
