Callers may experience long wait times during peak hours, especially when reaching specific departments. It's recommended to use online services or call during off-peak times to minimize delays. Although the line is advertised as 24/7, not all services are available at all times. For council tax and benefits, ensure you call during the specified hours. Using online contact methods for non-urgent matters can help avoid queues and expedite service. Always have necessary information ready to streamline your call.
