We have been asked to provide evidence that businesses in the mobile catering sector that have diversified their offering and are trading as takeaways/using a delivery system are facing difficulties in relation to Street Trading Regulations and that these regulations are not currently fit for purpose.
We are also asking for licensing restrictions to be relaxed in order to give our sector as much chance as possible to keep going, and for opportunities to open-up during the summer, when most of you would be trading at festivals and events.
We are also concerned that members on pitches are potentially being charged for a site with no business, may risk losing their pitch if they don’t trade or may find others occupying their pitch unlicensed.
In order to do this, we need to present a detailed picture of the additional challenges our sector is facing and so are asking you to spend a few minutes to fill in this survey.
