Local authorities, together with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, run themed events during National Fire Safety Week. The events aim to raise awareness about fire safety and prevention in the home and community.
Local authorities provide information and advice to owners of unregulated private water supplies about water quality, contamination risks and how to keep their supply safe.
Local authorities may run initiatives such as National Bike Week, Mobility Week, Car Free Day and the Pedometer Challenge to promote sustainable travel.
Local authorities may provide financial support to private homeowners who do not have access to a public water supply or group water scheme to bore a new well, upgrade an existing well or install a treatment system.
