Welcome to Lancashire County Council Trading Standards

This website is part of our service to Lancashire traders and residents but please feel free to browse no matter where you live. Just click on the links above to look at other pages.

We're here to protect the interests of our consumers and businesses. We can provide advice before you shop - for example, if you are considering buying a second-hand car, using the services of a builder or booking a holiday. And we can provide advice if you are having problems with something you have already bought or a service you have received.

Please click on 'About us' to find out about more of our services, including our work in safety, animal health, food, weights and measures, credit and finance, and petrol.
