The Council has introduced the policy in order to formalise how it will manage and control street trading so as to ensure minimal disruption on streets and to neighbourhoods whilst maintaining the safety of those using such facilities. The policy document is available via this link.
Further details, including links to the required forms needed to obtain consent to trade, are available via the District Council website which may be accessed here. Details of the charges applicable are also available via this link.
