Environmental Services - Out of Hours Emergencies

Whilst the Council does not provide a 24 hour/365 day operation for environmental services, it does have an out of hours service for emergencies.

Examples of what may be considered to be an emergency are:
  • A fatality or serious accident in the workplace
  • An outbreak of food poisoning.
 
This service is provided through an agency - Ryecare, who can be contacted on 01653 690738.

The following are examples of what is not considered to be an emergency:
 

Pest control requests
Noise complaints
Nuisance complaints

 
Details of these calls would be noted by Ryecare and passed to the Council for action during the normal working week.

A separate out of hours service is provided for Council house tenants who have emergency housing repairs. This service is available by contacting the same Ryecare number 01653 690738.
