I would like to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding enforcement activity against convenience stores, newsagents and off licences within your local authority area.

Please provide data for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. If possible, please break the data down by quarter or year.

Specifically, I request:

  • The number of seizures involving illegal or non-compliant vaping products.
  •  The number of fixed penalty notices, formal warnings, enforcement notices, cautions, or other actions issued to vape retailers.
  •  The reasons for non-compliance.
