8.1 The TML&TS briefly read through her report whilst sharing her screen, referring to the appendices throughout. 8.2 The TML&TS responded to Members’ questions as follows:- · Members were being asked for their comments and then if approved the review process would be taken forward by undertaking a consultation. · Should a single trader arrive at a location and trade for a few hours and leave, the trader would often rely on social media to advertise where they will be. Officers could use that intelligence to attend on-site and speak to the trader; this had been done previously. If the issue was reported after they have left, they are able to take details and investigate. Officers would remind the trader of the need to apply for a licence and should they do it again, enforcement could be taken. Members were able to report issues if they were aware of any. 8.3 The Committee AGREED to approve the proposed review of the current street trading policy and the process as set out in 4.2 of the report.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
