Council Customer services network: revised opening hours

24th July 2011

The roll out of new opening hours at Service Points operated by The Highland Council continues at seven locations. The changes result from a review of opening hours to meet customer demand and as the Council increases its partnership working with other public sector agencies across the Highlands.

From today (Monday 25 July), Golspie Service Point will be open Monday - Friday between 9am and 12.30 pm, while Brora will be open Monday - Friday between 1.30pm and 5pm.

From Monday 1 August, new opening hours will be introduced at Service Points at Tain, Invergordon, Alness, Kingussie and Aviemore.

· Tain Service Point will be open Monday - Friday between 9am and 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4pm

· Invergordon will be open Monday - Friday between 9am and 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4pm

· Alness will be open Monday - Friday between 9am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 5pm

· Kingussie will be open Monday - Friday between 1.30pm and 5pm

· Aviemore will be open Monday - Friday between 10am and 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4pm

Service Points will continue to offer access to a range of Council services and for complex enquiries, such as Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages, the Customer Services Network will provide an appointments service.

All changes to opening hours will be advertised on the Council's website and via posters displayed in the affected offices. Customers can also contact the Council by telephone on 01349 886606 Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 9am-12pm and via the council website at www.highland.gov.uk
