People trading on a street or verge of a street may need street trading consent.
Street trading is controlled in accordance with the provisions contained in Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.
The council adopted this schedule on 1 April 2000. As a result, all streets within North Lincolnshire are designated as Consent Streets. This means that anyone who wishes to trade on a street, highway or other area to which the public have access without payment must hold street trading consent.
In addition, anyone trading on adjacent land within seven metres of a street, highway is required to hold a street trading consent.
