We work in partnership with Consumer Direct and offer free advice and guidance to Knowsley residents and traders.

Consumer Direct is a government funded telephone and online consumer advice service and helps consumers sort out problems and disagreements with suppliers of goods and services.  This includes:

  • Overcharging
  • Faulty goods
  • Dodgy workmanship
  • Dishonest traders and scams

If you live outside Knowsley then you can find your local trading standards service by visiting the Trading Standards website.
