Welcome to the A+ Legislation pages

We're launching a series of free guides to keep you abreast of the key aspects of environmental legislation within the UK. Experts have written 'Rough Guides' to assist with understanding a piece of legislation, what you need to know and how to comply. More Rough Guides will be added soon – in the meantime, if you have particular legislation which we haven’t covered, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to add a Rough Guide for you.

Please contact me by e-mail alison.riding@adas.co.uk or telephone 0116 274 5116.
