Reigate & Banstead Joint Enforcement Team

Council officers with enforcement powers including the Joint Enforcement Team, Community Safety Team, Environmental Health Officers, Civil Enforcement Officers (Traffic Wardens) and Planning Enforcement Officers work in partnership with Police Officers from the Reigate & Banstead Neighbourhood Team to provide a quicker, more robust response to those causing persistent nuisance, making Reigate and Banstead an even better place to live, work and visit.
