PUBLIC HEALTH NUISANCES
Environmental Health Officers may be able to help you, if you have problems or queries with:
- Defective premises
- Smoke, dust and fumes
- Bad smells
- Drainage complaints including septic tanks
- Ruinous and dilapidated buildings.
Housing defects or drainage problems may cause a public health nuisance, for example through rising damp, and the Council can serve a public health notice to make sure repair work is carried out. If the landlord of a property refuses to do the work, then he/she may be taken to court.
