Public Health Complaints

The Council will investigate complaints received on the following areas:

• Accumulation of dog foul
• Accumulation of household waste
• Defective privately rented dwellings
• Drainage complaints
• Offensive odours
• Ruinous and dilapidated premises
• Smoke, dust, and fumes.

In most instances complaints can be resolved through informal advice.

Where people responsible for the nuisance are reluctant or unwilling to take steps to resolve the problem, a legal notice can be served.
