Customer First Point Pontesbury
The new Customer First Point lets you access services and gain confidential support and advice from a range of organisations at the touch of a button, including advisors from Shropshire County Council and Severnside Housing.
You can also apply for your free bus pass in the library. It only takes a few minutes, and the Telly Talk machine will even take your photograph. Just bring in a document with your name and address (such as a utility bill) and something with your date of birth (driving licence, pension book, or passport).
For more information you can pick up a leaflet at the library or open one online from the link provided on this page. This project is initially running for a trail period. Feedback from people about the service would be very welcome.
