Apply for street trading consent
Street trading is defined as the selling or offering for sale of any article in the street.
Traders who use areas open to the public, such as roads, footways, beaches or open spaces to sell goods or services, must have street trading consent.
How to apply
You will need to request an appointment to come into our Broad Lane offices and apply for street trading consent.
To do this you should send an email to licensing@southglos.gov.uk.

When we receive your application, various agencies will be consulted. These include:
- Highways Authority
