Help Centres on the Isle of Wight.


What is a Help Centre?


Help Centres are located in convenient locations across the island to enable residents and visitors to access a wide range of services from a single point of contact.

At a Help Centre you:
  • Request a Council service
  • Access other partner services (where they are available)
  • Access information
  • Carry out other Council Business.

Help Centre Advisers are available to deal with enquires about a wide range of Council and other public-related services. They will resolve enquires at the first point of contact wherever possible, using a range of communication media including telephone, e-mail, face to face, fax etc. This means that all your Council business can be dealt with in one place.
