Brightmere Council can provide local information and signposting for businesses where that support falls within the council's local-economy role.
How we can help
The council can help businesses identify relevant local information, understand council engagement or place-based activity and find the public body responsible for services outside Brightmere Council's remit.
What we do not provide
The council does not automatically exercise taxation, national business regulation, trading-standards or other functions that belong to a different authority.
Contacting the council
When asking for support, explain what your business or organisation needs and whether you have already contacted another public body. This helps the enquiry reach the most appropriate service.
Finding the right business support
Brightmere Council's local-economy role is focused on local place and community conditions. A business enquiry may therefore need to be directed to a strategic authority, central government or another competent body if it concerns a function outside the council.
The council makes that boundary clear and does not present a general business service as if it covered regulation, taxation or functions the council does not hold.
