Residents in Ollerton have a new facility to use to ask questions about their residency or tenancy for Newark and Sherwood District Council.

The newly-refurbished advice centre on Sycamore Road, New Ollerton, is open for residents from Monday to Friday, 9am until 12.30pm and 1.30pm until 4.30pm. Just like Castle House in Newark, this facility will help residents and tenants with any concerns they might have, from paying Council Tax bills to asking about bin days, and from finding out about housing benefits to planning enquiries.

The leader of Newark and Sherwood District Council, Coun David Lloyd, said: “We’re happy that we’ve been able to open this newly refurbished centre for the people of Ollerton. Even though we live in an increasingly digital age, many of our harder to reach residents value seeing people face to face.

“This is what I hope this facility can offer and our officers will be here to meet residents in person to offer them assistance on any queries they might have about their residency and tenancy.”

The facility has been refurbished inside and has been made to look more welcoming for residents.

The centre is a five-minute walk from Ollerton Town Hall, Sherwood Drive, which houses local outreach services and the DWP every Wednesday and Thursday.
