Consumer Protection

We are responsible for licensing a wide-range of businesses and business activities within North Somerset.

These range from regulating tattooists to credit brokers and debt collectors and nightclubs.

Under the Licensing Act 2003, which merged six old licensing regimes into one system, we are responsible for licensing all businesses which sell and supply alcohol within the district.

This combined with the other licences we are responsible for means we play a part in the regulation and running of most local businesses.
