Customer Feedback

?

Would you like to pay a compliment, comment on, or make a complaint about any of Forest of Dean Council’s services?

We aim to provide high quality services, and would be delighted to hear from you if you feel that we have achieved this. We do accept that occasionally things can go wrong. If you think we have let you down, please tell us so that we can put things right. This will also help us to ensure that people have fewer problems in future. Please also tell us if you have any general suggestions on how we can improve services; we are interested in your views.

We are committed to using information gained from your feedback to help drive forward improvements to services and to better meet customer needs. Whatever you have to say we will take it seriously.

If you wish to complain about a nuisance caused by a member of the public or a business, we won't be able to take any action unless we can investigate how the nuisance is affecting you, therefore we would need your contact details.

To make contact with us please complete our online feedback form; or if you prefer download the form.  You can give a completed form to any member of staff or post it to us (freepost) direct to:

Corporate Support Team

If you do not know where to direct your compliment, comment or complaint, or would like help in making it, you can contact the Corporate Support Team on 01594 812607 or email us.

A copy of our Feedback Leaflet is here and a flow chart of our complaints process is here.

At any stage of making a complaint you can also contact your local councillor(s).  Find out who your local councillor is here.

You can contact the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO), although the Ombudsman will only investigate a complaint once it has been through our complaints procedure (there are exceptions to this, advice can be obtained from the LGO).
