Issue - meetings

Cabinet approves and adopts the draft Street Trading Policy, attached as Appendix 1.

The policy had been updated to meet current and future requirements. Consultation, including with existing street trading consent-holders, had taken place between November and December 2021. All comments received had been considered. The Licensing Committee had been briefed on the policy. This would tie in with the council’s pop-ups initiative and would help to get businesses going for small traders, especially following the COVID pandemic. Town and Parish Councils would be consulted to identify some appropriate sites.

The Corporate Scrutiny Committee had made no comment.

Consideration was given to the report which sought the Cabinet’s approval to adopt the draft Street Trading Policy. No comments or questions were raised, and the report was noted.

RESOLVED:

THAT the recommendations be noted.
