The refuge department has been privatised. Recently the Benefits and council tax departments were moved to the new Council building in Market lane. The remaining sections now operate in the Portholme premises: Planning, Building Control, Licensing and Environmental Health. There is some confusion as to what will happen to the building.

They were always quick to respond and seemed keen to record as many details as possible, unlike police I have encountered in other (probably more crime-ridden) areas of the city and country. The local police have also been known to knock on every door down our street to give residents the chance to raise any issues they have, they frequently post us letters telling us be careful as our area has been targeted by burglars and they put up signs alerting people that their cars are likely to be broken into if they leave them on the street.
