Odour nuisance
Odour problems come in many forms, these could be day to day smells for example cooking at commercial premises.
For many people, odours affecting the use of their properties is a source of irritation and stress that can interfere with the use of individuals home.
Reporting an odour problem
Frequently, problems regarding odour can be resolved informally by politely explaining the problem to the maker and trying to come to a compromise. However, this informal approach may not always be successful.
We cannot take action where odour is caused by cooking smells from a normal domestic property or by cigarette smoke travelling between properties.
Cannabis odour
We are unable to deal with complaints or concerns related to cannabis use, possession, or distribution. These matters are the responsibility of the police.
If you have a concern relating to cannabis, contact Derbyshire Constabulary on the non-emergency number 101, or visit Police.uk for more information or to report an issue.
