Local Better Regulation Office (LBRO)
A key concern of business identified by the 2005 Hampton Review ‘Reducing administrative burdens: effective inspection and enforcement’ was the lack of consistency and coordination in local authority regulatory services.
Set up by the Government in May 2007, LBRO's role is to improve local authority enforcement of environmental health, trading standards and licensing – reducing burdens on businesses that comply with the law while targeting those who flout it.
Its overall aim is to secure the effective performance of local authority regulatory services in accordance with the principles of better regulation and the Government is legislating to give it powers to deliver that purpose.
