You can walk in, telephone, email, post a letter, complete an ‘on line form’ and now, text, (07797 80 65 45)  Action Line – Bath & North East Somerset’s contact centre for enquiries, problems, concerns or complaints with cleansing, highways, refuse, recycling street lighting
 
“We want to make it as easy as possible for people to contact us how they want, when they want,” explained Councillor Paul Crossley, Leader of the Council. “Residents should have easy access to all Bath & North East Somerset Council services and information and the introduction of ‘texting’ is just another way of improving access to services and information across the board.”
 
“At the moment we hope people will contact us by text to report things that need repair or collection,” he continued “but in the longer term we plan to use messaging in conjunction with resident requests for automated alerts including road traffic status, refuse collection times and fault reporting. Texting also helps improve our access with both the youth and deaf communities.”
 
As this is a new service,  it will change and evolve as it is used, so we welcome any feedback on how you have found it, or what you think. Please don't hesitate to contact Jonathan Irving with any ideas or thoughts.
