Other public services
Some public services are provided through other authorities and organisations. Greenhaven Council does not currently hold responsibility for Council Tax, statutory social care, NHS services, waste, highways, housing, trading standards, environmental health, immigration, nationality, operational policing or fire and rescue. Where one of those subjects affects Greenhaven, the council’s local information role can help residents identify the organisation responsible and understand how the different services fit together.
