Primary Authority
If your business is based in Central Bedfordshire and also trades outside the county, the Primary Authority Partnership scheme could save you time, money and make it simpler to deal with regulations.
It allows a legally recognised partnership between your business and ourselves which can simplify your relationship with all the local authorities you deal with. It gives you a single point of contact, and lets you take advantage of our expertise and advice to deal with all regulatory issues.
Legislation
We're governed by many different pieces of legislation.
If you'd like to know what they are, email trading.standards@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk and we'll send you a list.
