Environmental Health is a Council service set up to make sure that people's living and working surroundings are safe, healthy and hygienic. A wide range of activities are provided, including the inspection of food facilities, investigation of public health nuisances, and the implementation of disease control. The service focuses on prevention, consultation, investigation, and community education regarding health risks and maintaining a safe environment.
