DEAF people and the hard of hearing should now find it easier to communicate with Bury Council.
A number of Minicom systems, a text type telephone, have been installed at key local authority buildings.
Councillor Gordon Sharkey, disability spokesman, said the council's previous use of Minicoms had proved very effective.
"Communication can be difficult for people with a hearing problem and hopefully the increased availability of the Minicom systems should help to overcome this," he said.
"We are installing a new lift at Bury Town Hall, which again should benefit people with a disability."
The Minicoms and their numbers are: social services, Craig House, Bury: 253 5936; social services, Castle Buildings, Bury: 253 5932; competitive services' customer services, Craig House, Bury: 253 5934; development services (planning/reception): 253 5937; engineering, Lester House, Bury: 253 5933; education services, Athenaeum House, Bury: 253 5929; finance & benefits, Whittaker Street, Radcliffe: 253 7408; environmental health: 253 5931; housing, Bury Town Hall: 253 5922; translation & interpretation service: 253 5938.
