Issue - meetings

Received a report setting out the Council’s current Street Trading Charges and proposed changes to the basis that the charges are applied as well as the level of Charges for 2003/04.

Agreed, in accordance with the principles of the Charging Policy Commission and to assist with the Council’s Community Priority of “Regenerating the Local Economy”, the basis and increase for Street Trading Charges with effect from 1 July 2003 as follows:

1.  The issue of a non-transferable three-year licence to an individual at a charge of £50 per licence.

2.  If a licence requires a new ‘Designated Street’, the cost of this, if approved, is charged to the licensee.

3.  The introduction of premium, standard and small area rates, as outlined in paragraph 3.3; and,

4.  Street Trading Licences Charges will in future be reviewed annually.
