Issue - meetings

In line with council policy, officers are required to review the Street Trading Policy (“the Policy”) every 3 years and make changes where necessary. The current Policy was first adopted in February 2024 along with a schedule of new fees and changes to the list of prohibited / consent streets.  It was subsequently reviewed with minor amendments in July 2024.

This report provides a review of the Policy with minor amendments suggested.

No changes are proposed to the ‘List of current prohibited / consent streets’.
