Review of Street Trading Policy

Street trading is a regulated activity for which Derby City Council is the Licensing Authority issuing consents to Traders within the Derby City boundary. The purpose of the Policy is to enable the management of where street trading takes place and to give Derby City Council powers to react to compliance whilst at the same time being able to support small businesses.

The current Policy has been operational for a while now and it is felt the appropriate time to carry out a review of the Policy to ensure that the management of where street trading takes place and how Derby City Council reacts to compliance is appropriate, whilst at the same time support small businesses.

This is our chance to review how we manage where and how street trading takes place, taking into account plans for regeneration, pedestrianisation and overall footfall/accessibility around designated trading pitch/areas. It is also a chance to review the current practices and include a clear set of requirements for potential applicants and other parties to the process.

When we are looking at future developments in the city and preferred options for traders, it is worth noting that this is a fluid policy and can be amended as the City develops.
