Our Aim
Our aim is to:

How we do this
The Trading Standards Service enforces the laws that govern the goods and services which are bought, sold, hired or advertised in the County. We work to make local communities better and safer places for people to live in; and to make markets competitive for businesses to trade in. We also enforce Animal Health & Welfare laws in relation to the keeping, movement and sale of farm and companion animals in the County.
We offer advice to consumers, guidance to businesses, information on Animal Health & Welfare rules, consumer education and calibration services. You can find out about the services we provide by clicking on the links on the left of this page.
