Hairdressers and barbers operating within the council’s area
See notes
I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 relating to the regulation of hairdressers and barbers operating within the council’s area. I would be grateful if you could provide the following details:
Business registration
1. Does the council require hairdressers or barbers to register with the local authority?
a) If so, please provide a list of businesses currently registered, including their trading name and full address (with postcode).
Health and safety inspections
2. Does the council carry out health and safety inspections of hairdressing and barbering premises?
a) If inspections are undertaken, please supply a list of all such businesses inspected within the past five years (from April 2021 to the present), including their addresses and postcodes.
Local figures
3. Does the council hold a record of the total number of hairdressers and barbers known to be operating locally?
a) If this number differs from the number of registered businesses, I would be grateful if you could confirm the total figure held.
