Castle Point Plan Consultation

We’ve set out a bold, community-led strategy for sustainable growth across the Borough. The Castle Point Plan will set out where new development will be allocated, how much affordable housing will be built and more up to 2043.

Please give us your views in our consultation 

Pest Control

The Pest Control Service has now been stopped with no plans for this to be replaced.

Customers can find a list of alternative local service providers on www.npta.org.uk/member-search (National Pest Technicians Association) or www.bpca.org.uk/find  (British Pest Control Association.)

The Council is not legally obliged to provide pest control services, yet land owners have a legal duty to keep their land free from rats and mice.

Bats and badgers are protected species and must not be harmed. Advice on these is available from:

Swarms of honey bees will not be moved by the Council. Local beekeepers will usually collect swarms and may make a small charge to cover costs. Details of local beekeepers are available from www.ebka.org
