Who to call
Parish, district or county — the right number for bins, potholes, the GP and more, with hours and tappable phone numbers.
Three councils share Wheatley, and it is rarely obvious which one to ring. Start with the rule of thumb in the box, then find the number you need below. Every number here was checked against the official page on the date in the footer.
