Service update – Microsoft Outlook service disruption

As a result, some of Herefordshire Council's online forms and enquiries may be affected. This is because many of the forms submitted through our website are delivered to our teams via email.
If you need to contact us about something urgent, please do not rely on submitting an online form at this time. Instead, please contact the relevant service by telephone, or call customer contact centre, contact numbers - Contact us - Herefordshire Council
For anything that is not urgent, you can continue to use our website, although there may be delays in receiving or responding to submissions.
We are monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.
