Environmental Action Programme

Restoring pride in our towns

This programme has been developed by Thanet District Council to improve the condition of our busiest areas, starting with our main town centres and roads.

The EAP (Environmental Action Programme) aims to deal with a wide range of problems including:

• Broken pavements
• Littering and dirty streets
• Damaged or shabby street "furniture" such as benches, bins, signs, street lights and planters
• Graffiti
• Dumped rubbish and flytipping
• Crime and anti social behaviour

The Council has set up a special Rapid Response Team to deal with these problems and the team have already achieved a great deal. 

Special graffiti removal teams have tackled hundreds of locations across Thanet, including walls, signs, post boxes, railings and lamp-posts.  Environmental Action Days have been held regularly to crackdown on a range of issues, including abandoned vehicles, dog fouling and rubbish dumping.

The EAP also aims to introduce more public art and floral displays into busy areas, improving the visual appeal of our streets and public areas.

And if you know of a problem that needs tackling, then call the Streetline on 01843 577777 or e-mail us at eap@thanet.gov.uk
