Agenda item

To resolve to rescind or vary the licence street designations detailed in Appendix 1 of the report. 

John McHenry, markets development manager, presented his report. Members had questions.

Members also raised a number of matters regarding stall pitches.

Councillor Morris asked that a flower stall pitch on Borough High Street be rescinded or be put to use. The markets development manager advised that this and any other rescissions would have to be brought back to the committee at a later date.

Councillor Morris also asked officers to stop the Slug and Lettuce bar of spreading out onto the pitch beside the bar on Borough High Street. Additionally Councillor Morris asked officers to look into Igloo flowers trading in place of the green grocers in the Joiner Street area. The markets development manager confirmed that he would look into these matters.

Councillor Smith raised a matter regarding new pitches on Rye Lane. Members felt that these pitches may make it difficult for residents to escape their homes in an emergency.  The markets development manager advised that he would look into this and that a further risk assessment would be carried out.

RESOLVED:

That the committee resolved to rescind or vary the licence street designations detailed in Appendix 1.
