Street Trading
What is Street
Trading?
Street trading
is selling any article or thing, or supplying a service in a street
or
public place, whether or not in or from a stationary position.
Types of Street
Trading are:
Stationary
A Stationary Trading Licence is required where the trading is carried
out at a fixed location at regular times and days, e.g. Hot Food
Van. A Stationary Licence is only issued for a site or area, which
has been designated for the purposes of street trading.
Mobile
A Mobile Trading Licence is required when trader calls to an area
and sells to customers for a short time and then moves on to the
next area, e.g. Ice Cream Van.
Temporary
A Temporary licence may be issued for one day trading, or for maximum
of 7 days consecutive trading per licence. This type of licence
is normally issued for festivals, e.g. St Patrick’s Day etc.
A total of 5 Temporary Licences may be issued to the same trader
per year.
