Report litter

Needles or syringes plus other drug related items are a hazard to health. If discovered contact us as a matter of urgency on 01256 844844 to have them safely removed.

Any drug related items found on private premises during working hours should be reported to the relevant organisation directly.

Discarded litter is a blight on our countryside, town centres and parks. It creates hazards for communities and wildlife.
