One Stop Shops

 One Stop Shop appointments

The Council have started to issue new bills for the upcoming financial year to all Council Tax payers. We anticipate that the One Stop Shops will be very busy with Council Tax related enquiries for some time and, as a result, we will be unable to accept drop-ins for any enquiries other than Taxi Licensing. The Taxi Licensing service will continue as normal but we regret that we will not be able to see anyone else who does not have a pre-booked appointment. If you do not have a pre-booked appointment please do not visit the One Stop Shop until we are able to resume normal service. We will update this page with more information when the situation changes.

Sefton's One Stop Shops deal with a range of face to face customer enquiries for council services. Both shops are accessible spaces (more information below). 

We have two One Stop Shops, one in Bootle and one in Southport: 

Bootle One Stop Shop is located on 324 Stanley Road, Bootle, L20 3ET

Southport One Stop Shop is located within The Atkinson, Lord Street, Southport, PR8 1DB

 

Bootle One Stop Shop 

For Bootle One Stop Shop, customers can drop-in anytime during our business hours of 9am - 5pm. However, during our lunch hour period of 12pm - 2pm, you may experience long wait times or asked to return later in the day.

Bootle One Stop Shop no longer has payment kiosks but has a cashier onsite accepting card and cash payments for a number of Council services. The cashiering facilities offered, are available from 9am - 12pm and 2pm - 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Customers can also pay for Council services via our automated payment telephone line, at local Post Offices and through the Council’s website.

 

Southport One Stop Shop 

Southport One Stop Shop is located in The Atkinson, and offers an appointment only service during the hours of 10am - 5pm, Monday to Friday.

If you require an appointment for either One Stop Shop, please contact our Contact Centre on 0345 140 0845.

  • Have a loop hearing system for people who are hearing impaired
