Safer Sutton Trader Scheme Sutton Council’s Business Regulation Service is committed to providing a fair and impartial service to consumers and the trade. The Safer Sutton Trader Scheme has been introduced so that local residents can use traders who come to work at their home, confident that certain standards will be met. It will encourage businesses to demonstrate their commitment to fair, professional and honest trade, so that they can be included in a list available to the public.
