OIC phone problems continue

Orkney Islands Council’s phone system is likely to remain only partially operational until Monday.

The OIC switchboard can take calls on 01856 873535, but continuing problems mean that calls cannot then be transferred to extension numbers.

Customers services staff  will take messages and pass these on by email. Alternatively, people are asked contact the council by email if possible.

The problems mean that a recorded message with out of hours phone numbers is currently out of action.

The out of hours phone numbers are available on the OIC  home page at www.orkney.gov.uk

The council apologies for the inconvenience caused.
