Environmental health

You should contact your district council if you have any problems with:

  • Street cleaning and litter
  • Pests
  • Noise
  • Food safety
  • Flytipping

Street cleaning and litter

Litter is unsightly and can be an environmental health risk.

Pests

From rats and mice to cockroaches and fleas, pests can be a risk to public health or food safety.

Noise

There are a number of different sources of noise pollution such as loud music and noisy machinery.

Food safety

Environmental Health Officers are responsible for food safety issues such as food hygiene at premises and foreign bodies in food. Trading Standards (link opens in a new window) are responsible for food composition and "best before" dates.

Flytipping

Flytipping has an impact on our local environment and how we view it. It can include general household waste, fridges, garden refuse, abandoned vehicles and commercial waste. For more information, visit the Clean Kent website (link opens in a new window).
