The Environment Service

Executive Director / Depute Chief Executive Jim Irons

The Environment Service has a wide range of responsibilities. It has a lead role in land use and transport planning, economic and sustainable development and environmental policy. It co-ordinates the Council's response in emergencies and is also the environmental conscience of the Council. This means for example: a resident's house will have received planning permission from the Service, and their refuse collected by us; your walk to work will be along a pavement we maintain and clean while a drive to work will use a road traffic network devised and maintained by us; children will be assisted to use safe ways of walking to school by us; parks and countryside you visit are maintained by us; and the restaurant you visit will have been inspected by us.
