Derbyshire County Council waives Trusted Trader member fees
Fees are to be removed for businesses and individuals registered with the Derbyshire County Council Trusted Trader scheme.
The scheme, which has more than 1,000 members, was set up to help Derbyshire residents find honest and reliable traders who commit to doing a good job for a fair price, and to protect older and vulnerable adults by making it easier for them to avoid falling foul of rogue traders.
Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Carol Hart said: “We know this is an anxious time for many businesses and sole traders and we are working hard to support them however we can.”
“We greatly value our Trusted Trader members and one way we can help them is by waiving the fees to the scheme for the next 12 months.”
“We realise that in some cases this may not make a huge difference to their finances, but I’m sure they could all do without any added expense at this time.”
“We will be contacting all our Trusted Trader members in the next few days to let them know about this change.”
