Departmental Changes

On the 1st of February 2010 there were some changes to the County Council Departments.

The main change is that the services provided by the Community Services Department will be managed by the departments shown below. This has meant that the names of the Adult Social Care and Highways Transportation & Waste Management departments have changed to reflect the new services they provide.
