CIEH guidance for local authority charging

The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) has issued guidance on charging for pest control services for local authorities. There is serious concern that more and more councils are deciding not to provide a pest control service and also that more councils are introducing charges for pest control services. The CIEH guidance states the issues that local authorities should take into account when considering whether to introduce charges or contract the service out. The guidance is available to download at NPAP Publications (www.cieh.org/policy/npap_publications.html)
