Trader Recommendation Platforms, Refill Shops and Landlords Selling

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Trader Recommendation Platforms help give us peace of mind when booking a tradesperson. However, are they doing rigorous enough checks to ensure quality when it comes to firms advertised on their platforms? Refill shops have become a fixture of high streets across the country over the last five years, but due to rising costs many of them are now closing. What does this mean for zero-waste shopping? An increasing amount of residential landlords are deciding to sell their properties. We discuss what this means for renters and the wider housing market. New data suggests that eye tests are being sacrificed by people trying to save money. How much of a problem is this, and what can you do to cut down on optometry costs? PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CHARLIE FILMER-COURT
