8 STREET TRADING AND LICENCE FEES
Street trading means selling items in a street, and can range from ice cream vans operating to fruit and vegetable stalls trading. These traders can bring benefits to the community, but a lack of proper regulation can bring problems.
Mendip adopted the legislation to control street trading on 16th May 1994. Councils must then 'designate' the places to be controlled to exercise their powers.
We propose to designate all streets in the Mendip District area as consent streets. We also propose a draft fees structure to administer the regime and a draft Street Trading Policy.
We have now completed two phases of consultation on our proposals.
The Council will rescind any existing designations of streets for street trading purposes.
Licensing Board considered the responses from both phases of consultation and makes recommendation to Full Council to carry through this work.
As it is a new service covering the whole district, it seems appropriate that Full Council consider the matter for final approval.
