    Did the council leader really say that 51% of the calls they answer are answered within 6 minutes? That they only answer 44 per cent of calls. So 56 per cent – that’s over half – of calls to Guildford Council are simply not answered. Or did I misunderstand what was said?

    It’s not just caller waiting times, though that is one problem, but responses to GBC’s preferred method of communication via web forms (MyGuildford) as well. Also, senders of emails are promised a response in 10 days, but it takes weeks, and letters take 10/12 weeks.
