About us
Shared Regulatory Services (SRS) delivers the Environmental Health, Trading Standards and Licensing functions across the Bridgend, Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan areas. Working across the three Council areas, SRS serves around a fifth of the population of Wales.
Hosted by the Vale of Glamorgan Council, the purpose of the Service is to protect the health, safety and economic wellbeing of residents and reputable businesses within the region. We do this through a combination of advice, guidance and support, as well as through the investigation of offences and enforcement action as necessary. Roles in Environmental Health, Trading Standards and Licensing are both interesting and rewarding and it’s certainly the case that no two days are ever the same!
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is committed to delivering its priorities through high quality services, within the context of its core values:
Ambitious: Forward thinking, embracing new ways of working and investing in our future
Open: Open to different ideas and being accountable for the decisions we take
Together: Working together as a team that engages with our customers and partners, respects diversity and is committed to quality services
Proud: Proud of the Vale of Glamorgan; proud to serve our communities and to be part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
