Rejected petition Start a governing body to monitor the building trade to stop rouge traders
Start a governing body that means all traders have to sign up to. Then when the consumer is not happy with their work or business/project management there is somewhere this can be recorded against the company/business owner, so action can be put in place to stop this reoccurring.
More details
When there is an issue with a trader this comes under civil law. This leads to one word against another and difficult to reclaim money from traders if there is a dispute. If there was a governing body then there is a regulator that will record all disputes and poor workmanship/business management, stop further the business repeating this over again with new customers. Also the governing body could support consumers with legal help against the trader.
