Agenda item

The report of the Director – Neighbourhoods is attached.

The Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Environment and Safety, Councillor Inglis presented the report of the Director – Neighbourhoods outlining the Street Trading Policy 2025-2030.

In moving the recommendation, Councillor Inglis advised that the Council had adopted a Street Trading Policy in 2019, which was due to expire in January 2025. Prior to the adoption of the Policy, trading was unregulated, apart from an area confined around Nottingham Forest Football Club, and the Policy had brought other traders under regulatory control. Councillor Inglis confirmed that it had been subject to public consultation and considered by the Licensing Committee on 14 October 2025. The Committee had asked for the draft Policy to be amended, details of which were highlighted in Paragraph 1.2 and Appendix H of the report.

Councillor Mason seconded the recommendation.

Councillor Grocock thanked officers, confirmed that the Labour Group was happy to support this important Policy and referred to the important oversight undertaken by the Licensing Committee.

It was RESOLVED that the revised Street Trading Policy attached at Appendix 1 to the report be approved.
