Decision

Cabinet approved the adoption of the Street Trading Policy for South Kesteven District Council and agreed to delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for Corporate Governance and Licensing in consultation with the Head of Service (Public Protection) to make inconsequential amendments.

Reasons for decision

The Policy and proposed updates supported the Council in fulfilling its duties associated with street trading. Reviewing the Policy had provided an opportunity to update the intention and enforceability of the Policy.

Other options considered

Cabinet could have decided to remove the Street Trading Policy in its entirety. Which would mean no-one within the District of South Kesteven would require consent to trade. However, to do this, a full public consultation would have been undertaken to understand the impact of the businesses and residents within the district, and the full impact of this decision would need to be considered.
