Environmental Health

The purpose of the environmental health team is to help keep people safe by using a legal framework and evidence-based practice. Traditionally there has been an emphasis on inspecting and investigating, especially when things go wrong, but advice, education and prevention are equally important.

The remit includes the places we live in, work or enjoy leisure time, along with the food we eat and water we drink. The Council’s Environmental Health Team provide advice and information and have powers to ensure health is protected, maintained and improved.
