Emergency out of hours contact numbers

For the police, fire service or medical emergencies, call 999.

For non-emergencies, you can call the police on 101 and get medical advice by calling 111.

Leeds City Councils Contact Centre’s normal office hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Customers with hearing or speech impairments can email lccoutofhours@leeds.gov.uk to access the Housing and Public Safety out of hour’s team. The out of hour’s team will aim to respond to your email within one hour.

Please note that an emergency is something that needs to be attended to quickly because it is a danger to health or safety. Out of hours, Leeds City Council will strictly only be able to attend to emergencies that fall under this criteria.
