Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report in respect of an application for street trading consent for the sale of ice cream, sorbets, chocolates and fruit salad in Bromsgrove High Street.  Members expressed their concern at the stationing of a mobile food retail unit in the High Street and suggested that investigations be made into the provision of an alternative site.

RESOLVED:

(i)         that the application for street trading consent to sell food items from a mobile retail unit in the High Street be refused; and

(ii)        that the provision of an alternative site for a street trading consent be approved in principle and that, in the meantime, the Principal Licensing Officer and the Economic Development and Town Centre Manager investigate the possibility of establishing a mobile food vending site in an alternative location, in consultation with the applicant, and subject to the satisfactory views of consultees.
