Our aim is to help improve the health, safety, welfare and quality of life of people who live in, work in or visit Havant Borough.
Enforcement can involve:
- Advisory visits
- Help with taking the necessary action
- Licensing
- Legal enforcement of necessary work.
We aim to carry out these duties in a fair, practical and consistent manner.
We recognise that most people want to comply with the law and will, therefore, take care to help business and others meet their legal obligations without unnecessary expense. However, we will take firm action, including prosecution where appropriate, against those who ignore the law or act irresponsibly.
We adopted the central and local government Concordat on Good Enforcement in 2000. This means we are committed to the policies and procedures set out below.
