What we can help with?

If a member of the public contacts BU regarding a public student complaint (noise, litter etc) BU is only able to deal with the issue directly if it is related to student halls.

If the issue is not related to student halls then in the first instance it must be dealt with by Environmental Health (EH) and the resident must contact EH to log the incident appropriately.

Community Enforcement Officer

In Bournemouth, BU funds a Community Enforcement Officer for the Winton East, Wallisdown & Winton West and Queens Park Wards.

Residents can contact 01202 123789 or environmentalhealth@bcpcouncil.gov.uk.

Out of hours service

The out of hours noise service is also available on 0800 0281870. BU part funds enhanced out of hours support so that on certain nights a team member can respond to disturbances. The team also carries out proactive monitoring of hot spots where multiple complaints are received. If there is the possibility of a Statutory Noise Nuisance, then Environmental Health can monitor and issue Noise Abatement Notices.

In Poole, please refer to the Poole Borough Council website for information.

In all cases if the resident feels threatened they should call the police on 101.

BU have a free to use online platform called MyCareerHub where you can advertise your vacancies (graduate level (local, national or international), part-time, and placements) to our students and recent graduates.
