Cumbria Registrations Service fees and charges 2020/2021
Central government recently announced that the Registration Service can start to do appointments again, but only when it is safe to do so.
We are working very hard at the moment getting our offices ready and changing how we will work with our customers and communities. Keeping you and our team safe is our top priority.
We are taking things step by step and as soon as we can, we will gradually start to take appointments and bookings again.
Some of the things we are going to do:
- Screens at all reception desks and office desks to protect you and our team
- Masks and gloves for staff
- Organising thorough cleaning of each office every day
- Sourcing stocks of local cleaning materials so the team can clean between each customer appointment
- Washing our hands more often and always between appointments
- Hand sanitizer units in place in all offices for you and our team
- New ways of working to reduce the time we spend with you to a minimum
- New ways of working to avoid handling cash wherever possible
- Up to date signs with advice on how to stay safe in our buildings
We want to do all this but still give you the best customer experience possible. The safety of you and our team is our top priority, and whilst we hope to reopen as soon as it is safe to do so, we thank you for your continued patience whilst we get everything in place.
Our telephone lines are busy so please visit this web page to keep up to date.
