Prosecutions register

The local authority enforces trading, licensing and public health legislation. It covers all aspects of consumer protection issues, rogue traders, safety legislation and food premises. In addition to this, the council also enforces anti-fraud legislation in relation to dishonest claims for benefit.

If businesses have been prosecuted for health and safety breaches, the details are available on the Health and Safety Executive website.

An environmental health and environmental protection enforcement policy (PDF 49k) has been produced for the guidance of enforcement officers to ensure that they apply the laws they are responsible for enforcing on behalf of the council, in a fair and consistent manner for the benefit of our local community and visitors to Tower Hamlets.

The policy sets out what businesses and others subject to regulation can expect from the council in their role as an environmental health enforcement body.
