- Pollution prevention and control: we issue permits which control pollution from certain industrial activities
- Contaminated land: we have developed a strategy to identify all potentially contaminated sites in the borough
- Air quality: we constantly review the air quality of the borough
- Nuisance complaints: we can investigate your noise, smoke and noise nuisance complaints
- Drainage: we can get involved in investigating drainage problems and have them remedied by the people responsible
- Dog Warden: we collect contained stray dogs in our borough. We also issue and enforce animal welfare licences
- Pest control: we offer a pest control treatment service for a variety of public health pests at a competitive price
