Consumer Protection Newsletters

We are very keen to be of much assistance to businesses and traders in the borough as possible. One of the ways in which we assist is by producing and distributing a series of business information newsletters. These include one specifically to help businesses understand and comply with Trading Standards legislation, one specifically to assist with Food Safety matters and one to assist with Health and Safety matters.
