Help Direct - Safe Trader Scheme in partnership with Lancashire County Council Trading Standards
Help Direct's Safe Trader Scheme is funded by Lancashire County Council and managed by Lancashire Trading Standards Service. The service aims to help citizens of Lancashire find a reliable trader, as well as supporting local businesses.
All members of the Safe Trader Scheme have met minimum requirements, set out by the Trading Standards Service and have all committed to adhere to a Code of Practice. Not only does this give you added peace of mind when choosing a trader, but the support of Lancashire Trading Standards Service also means that there's someone to help if things don't go to plan!

I am the elected County Councillor for the Electoral Division of Pendle East (covering Trawden, Winewall, Cottontree, Wycoller, Lidgett, Bents, Laneshawbridge, Foulridge, Higherford, Blacko and Horsefield Ward in Colne) and will serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion. I am, however, a member of the Conservative Party and I take an active interest in a number of national and local campaigns. It would not be appropriate for me to use this website to promote these campaigns but you can visit related external websites by selecting some of the links to be found on this site.
