The Committee received a report recommending Street Trading and Pavement Licence fees and charges, with the fees and charges to be effective from 1 April 2025.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            Differentiation between Pavement Licence and Street Trading Licence. In response to a question from a Member, the Chair and the Interim Assistant Head of Service (Streetcare) clarified that a pavement licence permits a business to place furniture on the public highway for the serving and consumption of food and drink sold by said business, whereas a street trading licence permits a business to sell any article or offer a service on the public highway, not including market stalls which are treated separately.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)          Agree the fees and charges for 2025/26 as set out at section 2.4 in the report.
