Our health is greatly affected by the environment around us - the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, noise around us, and by our homes and our places of work. Stroud District Council tries to improve these things as much as possible, however some things are outside of our direct control. In those cases we aim to influence matters through monitoring, education and raising general awareness. We are committed to doing everything possible to make Stroud District a healthier place in which to live, work and visit.
