Wales follows the national Primary Authority scheme where businesses are able to form a statutory partnership with a single local authority, which will provide robust and reliable advice that other councils must take into account when carrying out inspections or dealing with non-compliance.
All our advisory and enforcement work is carried out in accordance with national principles of enforcement and in line with local authority regulatory policies. It is recognised that carrying out enforcement functions in an equitable, practical and consistent manner helps to promote a thriving national and local economy.
