Some businesses and individuals are prepared to ignore rules and regulations, this being to the detriment of those who are conscientious and law abiding.  This is unfair and unjust.  The trading and manufacturing markets are controlled, not to be burdensome to businesses, but create a level arena in which businesses can compete fairly for custom and to ensure public safety.  In addition to depriving legal property owners of their revenues, these rogues are probably not paying their taxes, business rates or public liability insurances.  Often the profits from illegal sales go on to fund other serious crimes and activities such as drugs distribution and trading in firearms.     

Please advise us if you become aware of any retailers:-

• allowing underage sales
• or of people producing or selling counterfeit or ‘fake’ goods such as: cd’s, dvd’s, clothing, footwear, software, electronic equipment, power tools,
• or businesses or individuals providing unlicensed credit, fraudulent traders cold calling at peoples homes.

You can do this by using any of the contact details given on the Trading Standards home page or by using the e-mail link listed on the left hand side of this page.
