A special hotline has been set up for people to report suspected fraud. Trained staff will answer your calls between 9.30am and 12noon, and 2pm and 4pm on weekdays. Outside these hours you can leave a recorded message. You do not have to give your name.
Contact us if you see or hear of anyone who is:
- getting money from the council that they are not entitled to - this could be payments for contracts, supplies, grants, benefits or salaries;
- stealing or misusing council stores, equipment, vehicles or buildings.
Contact information:

We will look into all reported incidents thoroughly and take appropriate action. You will still also be able to report your concerns through the usual channels - e.g. by contacting a councillor or the external auditor.
