Service Plan - Our Role and Purpose 2008

Leicestershire County Council is the largest council in Leicestershire, providing a wide range of services directly to local people, or through other organisations on its behalf.

The overall aim of the Trading Standards service is to ensure a fair and safe trading environment, which promotes the well-being of citizens and allows businesses to prosper.

Our service priorities for 2008/9 include:-

To provide an appropriate mix of actions in all areas of trading activity so as to maintain standards of trade which protect the community against unfair trading practices and hazards.
To provide information and advice, in partnership with Consumer Direct, so as to achieve informed confident consumers and informed successful businesses in Leicestershire.
To work in partnership with other agencies including voluntary services and other local authorities whose work complements the functions of the Service.
