We work in partnership with the Citizens Advice Consumer Service who provide free, confidential and impartial advice on consumer issues. They can help if advice is needed about resolving an issue or a dispute with a retailer or trader. They can also provide advice before you purchase goods or pay for services.
Visit www.adviceguide.org.uk or call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on tel: 08454 04 05 06 for further information. Telephone calls are charged at a local rate (cost of calls from mobile phones and certain landlines may vary) and the service is available 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
Advice sheets
We have produced some advice sheets and template letters which are split up into the five categories below:
Buy with Confidence
Buy with Confidence is our approved trader scheme, where you can search for a builder, plumber, gardener or any other tradesman local to you. All companies have been vetted by trading standards officers. Find out more about the Buy with Confidence scheme.
Neighbourhood Alert
The Neighbourhood Alert system is designed to keep residents of Nottinghamshire informed and involved in policing issues and notified about crime and crime trends in their immediate area. Messages consist of up to the minute crime prevention advice, crime appeals, public order or other information on policing matters.
