Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report requesting a minor amendment to the Street Trading Consent Policy.  The Street Trading Consent Policy had been adopted in January 2010 and implemented with applications being received by the Licensing Manager.  Paragraph 14 of the Street Trading Consent Policy had given rise to some unexpected difficulties and Members were asked to review this paragraph.  Members were asked to note that if paragraph 14 was deleted in its entirety, highway safety would not be compromised as the policy required the effect on road safety caused by the siting of the Street Trading Unit or by customers visiting or leaving the Unit and any potential obstruction of pedestrian or vehicular access to be taken into account.  The Highways Authority would continue to be consulted in accordance with paragraph 7.5 as detailed in the Street Trading Consent Policy.

RESOLVED that paragraph 14 of the Street Trading Consent Policy be deleted in its entirety.
