People are being urged to make sure they know the new numbers to contact Dudley Council all day every day.
Dudley Council has set up the new easy to remember 0300 555 numbers which still allow people to talk directly to the council.
The Dudley Council Plus contact number is now 0300 555 2345 as opposed to the old 01384 812345. Also, the new number for housing repairs management centre is 0300 555 8283, Callpay (24 hour automated payment line) is 0300 555 7000, council tax benefits and housing benefits is now 0300 555 8100 and revenues will be available on 0300 555 8000.
All 0300 numbers are charged at a local rate from a landline or mobile number and cost no more than the existing 01384 numbers.
The 01384 numbers will remain in operation alongside the new 0300 numbers while a phased transfer to 0300 is established.
Please note - Calls to 03 numbers should cost no more than geographic 01 or 02 UK wide calls, and may be part of inclusive minutes subject to your provider and your call package.
