Report overgrown land
If an overgrown garden or piece of land may be harmful to health or causing a nuisance, you can report it to us.
We will only investigate problems that are a statutory nuisance. For example, if there is rotting food waste on the land which may create an odour or attract pests.
You cannot make an anonymous report to us. We will not share your name or contact details with the person or landowner you are reporting.
We will carry out an investigation and take action where possible. If we cannot take action, you may be able to take legal action yourself.
