The Department would also like to inform the general public that due to health & safety concerns, it's offices at 14 Governor's Parade have been closed with immediate effect until further notice. Arrangements have been implemented for staff to work remotely and phone lines have been diverted to dedicated mobile numbers in order to minimise disruption to services.
