We aim to protect the health, safety and economic interests of the people of Leicester.
We aim to ensure that Leicester's reputation, citizens and businesses do not suffer as a result of illegal or unfair trading.
We want honest businesses to prosper, and the public to spend their money secure in the knowledge that they are not being 'ripped off' or put at risk.
We investigate complaints about businesses, inspect and advise businesses in the city to make sure their business practices comply with consumer protection law.
We will offer information and advice to people who have suffered from unfair trading practices. We play an important role in the protection of the public health from animal diseases, contaminated food supplies and dangerous products.
This part of the website includes information on the activities of the Trading Standards Service and other Council Services working to protect the public and promote good business practice.
