Temporary Change to Tamar Tag Applications

We’re currently experiencing short supply of Tamar Tags, as the manufacturer is having difficulty sourcing one of the key components. To help us manage the remaining stock as fairly as possible while we wait for ordered supplies to arrive, the online Tamar Tag application form has been temporarily closed.

During this period, new applications can only be made via paper form by downloading the application form from our website and submitting the application via email or if you prefer it can be filled in and completed whilst at the bridge office and handed in to reception. This ensures we can process applications strictly in the order they are received.  We are also assessing whether we can obtain the components required to refurbish older style tags so that these can be allocated to those who need them most.

We are expecting a delivery of new tags in mid-December and customers may experience a wait of up to four weeks from submitting their application to receiving a tag. We understand customers may be frustrated by any delay in receiving a new tag, but hope that by sharing the reasons for the current supply problem, what we are doing to minimise the impact and ensure fair treatment of those waiting, we hope that disappointment is reduced.
