Environmental Services
Environmental Services is responsible for two distinct areas of service provision, Land Drainage and Cleansing.
The Borough Council's Corporate Plan, Charnwood Together, identifies ensuring cleaner streets and improved recycling performance as major priorities whilst recognising that work should continue on flood alleviation to address severe flooding to property.
