Let's Talk

What to expect

Our drop-ins are relaxed and informal, so you can just drop in and chat without an appointment.

Council staff will be at each session. Some sessions might involve other teams and organisations, including:

• recycling advice sessions from our waste team
• NHS health checks from Solutions4Health (for ages 40 to 74 - if you're not that age, you can get a general health assessment)
• environmental health, trading standards and licensing advice sessions from our Public Protection Partnership

We will include information on the dates below where other teams will be joining us!
