Cabinet received the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 – Street Trading. Councillor Brian Milnes, Lead Cabinet Member for Environmental Services, introduced the report, and discussed the increase of street traders during the coronavirus pandemic. It was noted that the policy brought to Cabinet was fairer and simpler for all street traders across the district.

Councillor Anna Bradnam welcomed the policy, and thanked the Officers for their work. She asked whether the Licencing Committee could assist with the workshops during the consultation period. The Lead Cabinet Member thanked Councillor Anna Bradnam for the offer and referred this action to the Officers within the Licensing team.

Councillor Dr. Richard Williams asked whether there would be an impact on charity and one-off traders. The Lead Cabinet Member ensured that traders that work within the legislation would have their costs reduced.
