🟩 Where to Report Non-Police Related Issues 🟩

Did you know that many problems people report to the police are actually best dealt with by other agencies or the local council. Knowing who to contact can help get the issue sorted faster.

Here’s where to report some common non-police matters:

🚗 Noise pollution – Contact your local council’s Environmental Health team.
🚯 Fly-tipping – Report directly through your council’s website or app.
🏚️ Dangerous buildings or structures – Contact your local council’s Building Control team.
💉 Discarded syringes or drug paraphernalia – Report to your council’s Environmental Services team.
🥡 Waste, litter or overflowing bins – Council waste services handle these reports.
🔥 Garden bonfires causing nuisance – Environmental Health can advise or investigate.
💧 Burst water mains or leaks – Contact your water supplier (e.g. Severn Trent).
🐀 Pests or vermin – Many councils offer pest control or can signpost approved contractors.

If it’s not a police matter but still causes concern in your area, check your council’s website — most have quick online forms for reporting these types of issues.
