www.essex.gov.uk/Pages/Contact-us.aspx comply by giving 5p a minute service charge.

But still prominently say they are charged at BT standard rates.

From 1 July 2015, Angus Council declared a 2p per minute Service Charge for their 0845 number.

On 3 August 2015 they changed to the matching 0345 number: http://youtu.be/lCmME5CWpqY
