Report a problem with your South Hams owned home

How to make a complaint or report anti-social behaviour to the Council.

Making a Complaint

We realise that sometimes things can go wrong, and people are not always happy with the service they receive from the Council.

Complaints are extremely valuable to us because they give us the opportunity to put things right if there have been mistakes and, just as importantly, to improve our services to make sure that the same mistakes are not repeated in the future.

Our complaints policy explains everything you need to know about our complaints process. 

To make a complaint online please visit our complaints page for guidance and then fill in our online form.

You can also submit a complaint to us by: 

  • emailing us at complaints@swdevon.gov.uk
  • speaking to customer services by phone. The number is 01803 861234
  • writing to us or speaking to us in person at our office:

    South Hams District Council
    Follaton House
    Plymouth Road
    Totnes
    TQ9 5NE

If your complaint has been dealt with and you are not happy with the outcome you can seek further help and support from the Housing Ombudsman. They are free to use, impartial and will investigate fairly.


Anti-social behaviour

Anti-Social behaviour (sometimes called ASB) can be anything that causes a person or a group of people to feel seriously annoyed, alarmed, harassed, or distressed.
