Pollution Incident - Summerleaze Beach Bude 07/05/2008

As a result of dredging work in the canal a large amount of silty material has been washed down and is affecting the water quality on Summerleaze Beach. The water has been tested and whilst we are awaiting the results, we are advising people that there could be a health risk from this bathing water. Signs have been put up in the affected areas.

Dredging work has been stopped until the test results are known and measures are in place to stop the water reaching the beach. 

Please contact Paul Williams on 01208 893521 if you have any questions on this matter and we will add information here as it is available.

Contacting Customer Services by telephone

At present there is a very high demand for our housing benefit, council tax benefit and council tax departments and we know that customers are having difficulty getting through to us on the phone.  Our busiest day is Monday and our busiest time daily is 12 pm to 1 pm.  Our quieter times are in the afternoons mid-week.  So, if you are able, please ring in our quieter times to save having to hang on and be charged for a longer call.

If you do have the use of a computer you can e-mail your query to us using this link or you can have a look at the benefits pages or the council tax pages of our website.
