Cambridgeshire County Council
Trading Standards Service Consumer Consultation 2010

A Trading Standards consultation opened on 10 May 2010 seeking people’s views on what they would like the Service to make a priority in their area.

Trading Standards has a broad remit – from tackling the sale of alcohol to underage youngsters and confronting rogue traders, to checking petrol pumps are giving the right measure and ensuring that food is labelled correctly - and they want to know which things are most important to Cambridgeshire communities.

The survey which is due to run until the end of June, will gather views from across Cambridgeshire on what kinds of things local residents want Trading Standards to tackle or provide in their local areas. It will also be asking what particular trading issues give rise to concern amongst Cambridgeshire residents.

Everyone who responds will be given the opportunity to enter a prize draw subject to terms and conditions*, with the winner being awarded £100 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers.

County Council Cabinet Member for Economy and the Environment, Councillor Tony Orgee, said: “I would urge everyone to take part in this consultation. It is an excellent example of the County Council seeking the views of local residents to help shape the services they deliver. I would encourage all residents to voice their views in order that we can deliver the very best service to Cambridgeshire communities.”

Leon Livermore, Head of Cambridgeshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service said: ‘We look to deliver services in a way that is responsive to local needs. Never before have we undertaken such an extensive survey at Trading Standards, and I believe that by doing so, we will gain a clear picture of exactly what communities want from our Service.”

The survey can be found by going to www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/consumer . Paper copies of the survey are also available from the hub libraries in the County or can be sent to you by contacting the County Council on (01223) 715667
