Street trading fees
Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982
Paragraph 9 states
A district council may:
• charge such fees as they consider reasonable for the grant or renewal of a street trading licence or a street trading consent.
• determine different fees for different types of licence or consent and, in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of this sub-paragraph, may determine fees differing according —
(a) to the duration of the licence or consent;
(b) to the street in which it authorises trading; and
(c) to the descriptions of articles in which the holder is authorised to trade.
• determine that fees may be paid by instalments.
• recover from a licence-holder such reasonable charges as they may determine for the collection of refuse, the cleansing of streets and other services rendered by them to him in his capacity as licence-holder.
Canterbury City Council is consulting on proposed changes to the existing table of fees for the street trading pitches under the provisions of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.
