Licence - car boot sales
A car boot sale will require a street trading consent issued by the Borough council, if the public have free access to the site.
If you wish to request a street trading consent for this activity we can provide advice and the necessary forms – an example of which is below along with guidance notes.
If the event is to be held in a Borough Council Car Park permission must be obtained from the Transport and regulations Manager. If the event is to be held within a 3 mile radius of the town then additional permissions must be sought regarding the proximity to our Charter Market status. Details of who to contact are below.
