Trading Standards, Mystery Holidays, Village Takeover
New research finds a 'postcode lottery' in trading standards. Plus destination unknown - the trend of for 'mystery holidays'.
On this week's programme, a new Which? investigation has exposed a trading standards postcode lottery, with inadequate staffing levels in many areas. They say that's leaving millions exposed to crime, fake and dangerous products and scams. We hear from John Herriman Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Trading Standards and Lisa Webb from Which?.
Also on programme, we hear about the growth in companies offering 'mystery holidays' and the people being tempted to go on them. What are the things you need to bear in mind before you book?
And we visit the Lancashire village where the community has taken over the pub, the library, the shop and community centre to hear how they did it and why.
