What Environmental Health do

Environmental health is a very important function within the services provided by a local authority.

 

Here in Ribble Valley the service is provided by a small team of  officers who are divided into two teams, one dealing with issues relating to commercial premises and the second specialising in issues relating to privately owned housing.

The protection, and where possible, the improvement of the environment and public health is a recognised aim of this council.

The well being of society and the quality of life we enjoy depends on the interrelation of many factors - the food we eat, the place we work, the air we breath and maintaining the environment both for our enjoyment and those of future generations.
