Environmental Health
Since January 2012 we've joined with Wokingham Borough Council to create a joint environmental health and licensing service. This covers the area from Lambourn in the west to Wokingham in the east, serving a population of over 300,000 and a business community of over 7,000.
We regulate a wide range of activities, and we operate to a clear enforcement policy [25kb]. The pages below contain specific information on our key areas, but if you have an enquiry about a subject not listed please get in touch with us. Please note that some of our activities
carry a fee or charge [31kb].
