Of all the days for Durham’s response phone numbers to be out of action:

Highways Action Line on 01913706000 is unobtainable, not even a message, you just don’t get through.

The new Streetscene response line connects and then cuts you off 03000261000

If you have an emergency request the following number is working today 01388720377 also the Social Care Direct number can redirect you. 0845 8 50 50 10 – use the other number if calling from a mobile as this one will set you back a fair bit when you see your bill.
