Enforcement policy

The enforcement policy lays out the procedure that businesses and others being regulated can expect officers of the Environmental Health Section to follow when they carry out their enforcement functions. It lays out the process that officers must adhere to in deciding what action to take when undertaking their statutory duties to ensure that they act in an equitable, practical and consistent manner.

Please note that the policy and the commitments set out in it, only apply to legislation enforced by the Environmental Health Section. Other Council services may have their own policies and procedures in respect of enforcement action.
