Environmental Health

The core ethos that underpins Carrickfergus Borough Council’s Environmental Strategy is

"caring for our environment and creating a sustainable, clean and healthy living space for all.”

It is vital that we adopt an integrated approach to environmental protection, and so monitoring, conservation and awareness raising is required to ensure that we all - government, industry and society - live up to our environmental responsibilities.

Carrickfergus Borough Council will continue to play a leadership role in protecting the high quality of the region’s natural resources and will work to fostering a sense of environmental responsiblity among its citizens to ensure that the rich fabric of our local environment is appreciated and protected.
