All offices are open:

If you need to contact us about an emergency when our offices are closed, please contact our Out of Hours Service on 01228 526690.  They deal with emergencies for the whole of Cumbria.

Use of emails:

If you need to contact us about an urgent or emergency matter, you should telephone us or visit us at your nearest office.  Emails are checked daily so you should not use emails for urgent matters.  You should also note that Government guidelines say that emails are insecure and so care should be taken if you intend to use emails for personal details.  If you wish to send us personal details, you should use the on-line referral instead which is secure.

If you are asking for information using email, please send your email to your nearest office.  There is no need to send identical requests to more than one office.
