Footpath trading policy

We encourage footpath trading activities that make our commercial areas busy, vibrant and viable. This policy explains how those businesses can operate in a way that leaves footpaths clear, safe and unobstructed for pedestrians.

This policy explains the restrictions, requirements and responsibilities of businesses trading on our footpaths. It includes:

the size, type and structural stability of stands used to display goods on the footpath
use of outdoor heaters, umbrellas or speakers
the number, size and type of style you can display for your business
barriers, planter boxes etc.
