Work by the previous Lib Dem Council to tackle street trading was recently published for the public and businesses to comment on. The deadline for feedback is June 11th, Councillors will be able to make input for a little longer.

The new policy will

• ensure street trading poses no risk to public health and safety

• support the Lib Dem aspirations to improve the image and attractiveness of Bournemouth

• tie in with an Act of Parliament that the Lib Dems started work on, to allow the Council to clamp down on illegal street trading

Paul Walker, Trading Standards Manager, Public Protection, Town Hall, St Stephens Road, Bournemouth, BH2 6LL.
