This section deals with issues ranging from waste collection and
recycling to monitoring of air quality and from pest control to
investigations of noise complaints, all with the aim of protecting
and improving Public Health and the environment in which the
residents of the Rochford District live.
We wish to promote a green and sustainable environment.
Recycling
Climate Change
The Council has recently developed and approved its Climate
Change and Sustainability Strategy and its associated action plan –
the ClimateCO2de.
The ClimateCO2de aims to improve natural resource
efficiency both within Council operations and out in the
community.
Tree Preservation
The District of Rochford is very fortunate to be blessed with a
variety of spectacular and valuable trees.
Through various means of protection, the council aims to
preserve and maintain a level of green amenity, for the present and
future generations to enjoy and benefit from.
Pest Control
Use the link below to access a range of pest control
advice leaflets that give some general advice and guidance on
the most common pest problems, including ways to prevent
infestations.
In addition we have advice leaflets on some common garden
visitors such as badgers and foxes.
Animal Welfare
The Council supports the view that all animals have a right to
life free from cruel treatment and unnecessary suffering. This
Council cannot enforce or influence every aspect of animal welfare,
but it does aim to detail those areas that the council considers
important and where it feels it can have some influence as a
responsible and representative public body.
