operate from approved pitches licenced by the Borough Council
under Section 21, London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1947. Street traders licences are renewed annually upon application
from the holders and where such application is for the renewal of
the licences on its original terms, the renewal is granted unless
grounds are known to exist which call for a review of the conditions
prescribed in the licences, i.e. permission to trade in different articles
or commodities from those originally licenced, or if the storage
accommodation is not satisfactory, particularly in the case of foodstuffs.
The Council may refuse to renew a licence or may vary such
licence upon renewal only where the applicant is, on account of
misconduct or for any other sufficient reason, in their opinion
unsuitable to hold such licence on its original terms.
Close attention is paid to street trading in food and street
traders storage accommodation. The Food and Drugs Inspector
made 751 visits to street markets and food storage premises
associated with same during 1960.
