We’re also responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations which affect many businesses, for example:

• Issuing licences for animal boarding, dog breeding and horse riding establishments, betting and gaming premises, ice cream manufacturers and butcher shops

• Advising on health and safety regulations

One of the priorities in our Community Plan is to make Fife an attractive business location for the financial services industry.
