Environment
Keeping Ashford Clean and Green
We play an important role in providing a clean, healthy,
safe and sustainable environment for our residents and
visitors.
This involves nature conservation by protecting and
preserving our stunning countryside areas.
As well as ensuring our built environment is maintained to
high standards. It is our job to make sure the streets are clean
and your rubbish is collected promptly and efficiently. We are
responsible for monitoring air quality, providing allotments,
animal welfare, public toilets, tree preservation and green spaces
including parks and cemeteries.
We monitor the restaurants and cafes where you eat and other
food preparation premises in the borough for hygiene and safety
standards. Environmental pollution such as air, noise and light
comes under our remit and we play an important role in reducing
antisocial behaviour including vandalism, graffiti and
nuisance.
These webpages tell you more about the work we do
to protect the environment and promote the health of the
people who live and work in, or visit, the borough of Ashford.
You can help us improve the environment too, calculate your carbon
footprint.
