We are currently able to take card payments between 10am – 12pm each day by phone (quoting the relevant case number) on 01590 646674. Please do not send cheques as we are unable to process them. With regard to any non-payment related matters, our main switchboard number will continue to have an automated message and voicemails won't be picked up, so please email instead.
