Notice of intention to pass a Resolution on Street Trading and the designation of Consent, Licence and Prohibited Streets in the Borough

Notice is hereby given that the Council's Environment and Sustainable Committee, at its meeting of 16 November 2023, intends to recommend to the Council to pass a Resolution (at its meeting of 7 December 2023) under Paragraph 2 Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, subject to consultation responses, to confirm current designations apart from Guildford Street, Chertsey, which shall be redesignated from Prohibited Street to Licence Street.

The terms of the draft resolution are as follows:

1. that all previous Resolutions of the Council made pursuant to Paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 ("the Act") are hereby revoked;

2. that all streets maintainable at public expense, within the Borough of Runnymede, be designated as Prohibited Streets under Paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, save the following which are to be designated as Consent Streets and Licence Streets respectively:

Licence Street
High Street, Egham
Station Road North, Egham
Guildford Street, Chertsey
with effect from 15 January 2024

The effect of the resolution is that, from the said date, any person who engages in street trading in a Licence Street or a Consent Street without being authorised to do so, or in all'/ Prohibited Street, may be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a level 3 fine (not exceeding £1,000 at the date of this Resolution).

Once made, the Resolution will allow the Borough Council to control street trading in these streets, using powers set out in the Act.
