Summary

 

This page explains the role that we have as a law enforcing body and how we report on our annual work activity.

 

Law Enforcement

 

We enforce many laws that contribute to maintaining the health and safety of people who live, work in or visit Oadby and Wigston.

 

They cover food safety, health and safety at work, housing conditions and general environmental protection.

 

It is important that we regulate businesses in Oadby and Wigston in a fair and consistent manner and to help us do this, we have some guidelines that we follow.  These guidelines are contained in our enforcement policy |and the principles of good regulation.|

 

Our policy is reviewed regularly and if you have any thoughts or comments that you would like us to take into account when we carry out the next revision, please let us know|.

 

Our environmental health and licensing enforcement work is carried out in compliance with the Regulator's Compliance code,| which is a statutory code applying to the regulatory function of local authorities.  It forms part of the government's better regulation agenda.

 

More information about improving regulation, can be obtained from the Better Regulation Executive|.
