Shops Selling Certain Poisons

What do I have to do to meet requirements?
An individual from the business must register with the council and must nominate a responsible deputy.
Is there a fee?
Yes, there is fee of £5:00 for new registrations and an annual fee thereafter of £3:00 for renewal.
Once I've registered, is that all I have to do?
No. This is simply a means of informing the council where you are. Once you’ve registered, your premises will be inspected by an Officer from the Environmental Health Department to ensure correct storage and procedures are being followed.
