Public Health Complaints

The Council will investigate a range of complaints relating to public health, including the following:

• 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.
