Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the report which sought approval for a revised draft policy on measures to control street scene activities in Cheltenham - Street trading, Objects on the Highway and Charitable Collections for the purpose of consultation. The revision aimed to ensure the policy was fit for purpose and as clear and transparent as possible.
The Cabinet Member outlined the proposed policy changes as laid down in Appendix 4 and explained that there would be a 12 week consultation period. A list of consultees could be found in paragraph 7.2 of the report but she highlighted that this list was not exclusive. She added that Gloucestershire Association for Voluntary and Community Action (GAVCA) would be included in this list.
Members welcomed the proposed changes to the policy and hoped it would provide clarity and flexibility to traders in the town. The contribution of street trading to the wellbeing of Cheltenham was recognised as too was the importance of smaller niche businesses which brought diversity to the town. Members would welcome feedback from the consultation process.
