Minutes:

The Committee received a report from the Head of Tourism and City Centre Management regarding designation of St Andrews Street for the purposes of Street Trading.

 

In response to member’s questions the Head of Tourism and City Centre Management said the following:

 

       i.          Looking back to 1988 there did not appear to be any evidence or critical analysis of why some streets were chosen for designation above others.

     ii.          The designation area ran from the junction of Sidney Street to the junction of Regent Street.

   iii.          The County Council were consulted on the principle of re designating St Andrews Street as a Consent Street, not on specific pitches. The current trader had been on the pitch since 2007 and the County Council had raised no specific concerns about this trader to date.

   iv.          A full review of all other Consent Streets across the City had been undertaken. A full audit trail had been identified for the consents and officers had no further concerns.

 

The Committee:

 

Resolved (unanimously) to:

 

i.                 Consider the representations received to the public notices.

 

ii.               Pass a resolution to change the designation of St Andrews Street from a prohibited street to a consent street in accordance with the requirements set out in Schedule 4 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.

 

iii.             Publish a notice that the resolution has been passed.
