Trading Standards
For Consumers
How is help provided
We have 8 Advisors with specialisms including Consumer Law, Debt Advice and Court
Representation.
Through educating the public on their rights as consumers they will be able to make
an informed choice before buying goods and services and would know what to do if
things go wrong.
Our Advice centre has a wide range of information on a variety of "Consumer" topics.
We also supply advice and information relating to Other Council services, which
form part of our Department.
Exhibitions at public events such as the Elderly Forum open day at Girvan and during
National Consumer Week also give us the opportunity to meet members of the public
and spread the message that the service is available. Talks to groups such as "Opportunities
in Retirement" also provide us with a platform to promote our service.
