Part of
Complaints

In the first instance, please contact us so we can resolve your issue informally. This is the quickest way to get your issue resolved.  

We cannot treat the following as a complaint:

  • a request for a service or for information (for example, reporting noisy neighbours)
  • reporting a fault
  • offering a comment about a service
  • requests for information or an explanation of council policy or practice
  • matters for which there is a right of appeal (either within the council or to an independent tribunal) or a right to take legal action
  • disagreement with legislation rather than concern over possible bad practice (for example, parking penalty charge notices)
  • reporting a missed bin
  • comment on a planning application

If you have a complaint about an elected or co-opted Member of Elmbridge Borough Council or Claygate Parish Council regarding a Code of Conduct matter, please contact the council’s monitoring officer by emailing: MonitoringOfficer@elmbridge.gov.uk in the first instance.
