Flintshire County Council will be operating a limited service at the above location on the first floor of the Buckley Library Building on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th March 2020. This is due to essential maintenance works, the access to the first floor will therefore be restricted on those days. Customers will be unable to access the payment kiosk located on the first floor to make cash payments. Flintshire Connects staff will work from the Library on these days to assist customers including support with online payments. Flintshire County Council has advised that notices will be displayed in the centre to provide customers with advance warning.
