Changes to Cumbria County Council’s Highways Hotline
Cumbria County Council has made changes to its Highways Hotline to make it quicker, more resilient in an emergency and more cost effective. Changes will also enable call handling by people with local knowledge.
As of November 2011, calls to the Highways Hotline – the method through which members of the public can report a problem with a road in the county - are being handled at a local level.
Now, callers hear a menu of options which asks them to choose one on of the six areas where the highways fault is being reported. Selecting one of these options will send the call directly into the appropriate office and the call will be answered by highways staff in the local area.
This fits in with the council’s Better Highways project which, amongst many things, looks at how to deliver services in a localised way.
Currently the new service operates in the same way as the previous Hotline: Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 5.00 pm. The out of hours service will remain the same – ie a voicemail service will advise callers of the options for fault reporting and urge them to ring the emergency services in case of a genuine emergencies. Voicemails will now be left with the individual local area teams rather than centrally.
The Highways Hotline number is still 0845 609 6609
