A new telephone system for Ryedale District Council will be introduced on Monday.
The main switchboard number - (01653) 600666 - will not change, but engineering work over the weekend will mean callers are unable to leave messages.
However, anyone wanting to contact the council in an emergency can still do so by ringing (01653) 697737.
