• Government advice on 23.03.2020 indicated that street
trading could conceivably continue if they were offering takeaway
food/drink.
• With the revised government guidance, it is timely to permit
those street traders that wish to operate to be able to do so from
18th May 2020, provided they, their staff and their customers can
comply with social distancing measures.
• This decision is applicable to towns/city centre traders,
including any that operate on private land, where landowner
permission is given.
• If on inspection, social distancing measure aren’t in
place or seen to be being observed, we reserve the right to suspend
the consent.
• Highways amenity licenses for pavement café seating
should remain suspended at the current time.
