Home improvement tips

If you're planning some improvements which might need planning permission, take a look at our tips to make the process as quick and easy as possible. 

We've seen a big increase in planning applications this year, but if we work together, we can make sure these are processed and determined within agreed timeframes. 

Vote for your favourite independent retailers

It's that time of the year again when we ask you to vote in our independent retailer of the year awards.  These are a great opportunity to recognise those retailers who have gone above and beyond.  Who will get your vote?

Call to get defibrillators registered 

The Euros may have ended, but the tournament once again highlighted the importance of defibrillators. We're encouraging all clubs and organisations in the borough to register their life-saving defibrillators with the British Heart Foundation.

Our website has all the details and includes a list of council buildings and locations with registered defibrillators for emergencies.
