Failed application and licence holder redress
Please contact us in the first instance.
Consumer complaint
If you have a complaint, please contact the trader first, preferably in writing. If you do this by letter, make sure you get proof of delivery.
If you've done this and feel your complaint still hasn’t been resolved, contact the Citizens Advice Bureau.
But if you do not live in the UK, you’ll need to contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
Other redress
For example; complaints about noise, pollution, etc should be directed to the Environmental Protection Unit.
A police officer or officer of the local authority may make a complaint to the local court if they feel that animals have been subject to cruelty.
