Dudley’s trading standards team won a national award for shutting down 39 crime-linked shops since Aug. 2024, the most in the UK.
Dudley Council’s trading standards team won the national 'Outstanding Trading Standards Project' award for closing 39 shops linked to criminal activity since August 2024—the highest number by any UK local authority in that period.
Working with police and landlords, the team dismantled a network selling illegal tobacco, leading to convictions, and secured one of the UK’s largest elder fraud convictions involving a care home resident’s will.
Many former illicit shops remain closed or reopened legally, officials said.
