Hello! I can't find any non-0845 landline number for this supposedly 'public-orientated' new complex. Complex is the word! I get free calls on my phone but not to 0845 numbers so why do these council-owned organisations bash on about being available to the widest possible community?
Very poor indeed on Hillingdon Council's part I would agree.
Although you now have an unofficial alternative I would suggest an email of complaint to Hillingdon Council leader Ray Puddifoot at leader@hillingdon.gov.uk (see
http://modgov.hillingdon.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=116) asking them why they don't list the 0845 number or alternatively an 0345 number that would be included in all call packages and referring them to the previous government reports by the Central Office Of Information and Sir David Varney pointing out the call price disadvantages for customers of 0845 numbers.
Or if you feel strongly enough you could always go and see Mr Puddifoot at his bi monthly constituency surgery at:-
