Street Trading
Section 3 and Schedule 4 Local Government (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act 1982
NOTICE is hereby given that at a meeting of
Council on 13th October 2011 Cheshire East Borough Council (‘the
Council’) resolved that Schedule 4 of the Local Government
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 (as amended) (‘the 1982 Act’)
shall be adopted and shall apply to the Borough of Cheshire East
with effect from 1st December 2011.
The predecessor district councils (i.e. Congleton Borough
Council, Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council and Macclesfield
Borough Council) previously resolved to adopt the provisions of
Schedule 4 of the 1982 Act, which relate to the regulation of
street trading. The Council’s resolution has the effect of
confirming the application of the provisions across the whole of
the Borough of Cheshire East.
‘Street trading’ for the purposes of Schedule 4 means, subject
to certain exemptions, the selling or exposing or offering for sale
of any article (including a living thing) in a street. Schedule 4
of the 1982 Act allows local authorities to designate streets as
prohibited streets (i.e. where street trading is prohibited),
licence streets (i.e. where street trading is only permitted under
the authorisation of a licence granted by the authority), or
consent streets (i.e. where street trading is only permitted under
the authorisation of a consent issued by the authority).
A person who engages in trading in a prohibited street or
engages in street trading in a licence or consent street without
being authorised to do so commits an offence and is liable, on
summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £1,000.

Part VIII, Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions)
Act 1982
NOTICE is hereby given, in accordance with
section 13 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act
1982 (as amended) (‘the 1982 Act’), that on 13th October 2011
Cheshire East Borough Council (‘the Council’) resolved that the
provisions of sections 14 to 17 of the 1982 Act be adopted and
shall apply within the Borough of Cheshire East (‘the Borough’)
with effect from 1st December 2011.
The Council further resolved that, from the date the adoption
takes effect, section 15 of the 1982 Act shall apply, within
the Borough, to persons carrying on the business of tattooing, of
semi-permanent skin-colouring, of cosmetic piercing or of
electrolysis. Section 14 of the 1982 Act applies to persons
carrying on the practice of acupuncture.
The effect of the resolution is to require both (i) persons
carrying on the business of tattooing, of semi-permanent skin
colouring, of cosmetic piercing, or of electrolysis within the

apply to the carrying on of such a business by or under the

Consultation – Hackney Carriage Vehicle Conditions and Vehicle
Test Guidelines
On 12th October 2011 the Council
launched a consultation exercise in relation to a proposed set of
hackney carriage vehicle conditions (to apply in each of the three
hackney carriage zones) and a set of vehicle test guidelines in
relation to hackney carriage vehicles.
At its meeting on 12 September 2011, the Licensing
Committee considered a report which set out each of the three
existing sets of hackney carriage vehicle conditions together with
proposals relating to a harmonised set of conditions to apply in
each of the three zones. The Committee resolved to authorise
officers to carry out a consultation exercise on the proposed
hackney carriage vehicle conditions, a copy of which is available
via the link below.
Consultees are asked to provide any views
in relation to the proposed Hackney Carriage Vehicle conditions. It
should be noted that it is proposed that those conditions which
relate to the specification and structure of vehicles (e.g. the
requirement for wheelchair accessible vehicles) would take effect
in relation to vehicles when first licensed, and that existing
licensed vehicles would benefit from 'grandfather
rights’in this regard. However,
if the condition in relation to six monthly testing were to be
introduced, it is proposed that this condition would apply to all
vehicles over seven years old from the date of
implementation.
The Committee further resolved to approve,
subject to consultation, a set of hackney carriage vehicle test
guidelines. It is proposed that the vehicle test guidelines,
available via the link below, will be used by each of the Council’s
approved test centres when inspecting Hackney Carriage Vehicles. It
is suggested that the adoption of test guidelines will be of
assistance to vehicle proprietors by ensuring that the standards
which the Council expects Hackney Carriage Vehicles to meet are
clear.
Consultees are asked to provide any
views in relation to the proposed vehicle test
guidelines.
Copies of the existing Hackney Carriage
Vehicle conditions and the report to the Licensing Committee are
available via the links below.
Responses must be submitted in writing either
by post to the Licensing Section, Westfields, Middlewich Road,
Sandbach, Cheshire CW11 1HZ or by e-mail marked “Hackney Carriage
Vehicle Conditions” to licensing@cheshireeast.gov.uk
Please note that the deadline by which all
responses should be submitted is 3rd January 2012.
Although every effort will be made to take any late responses into
account, this cannot be guaranteed.
Consultation – Private Hire Vehicle Conditions and Vehicle Test
Guidelines
On 12th October 2011 the Council
launched a consultation exercise in relation to a proposed
amendment to one of the private hire vehicle conditions and a set
of vehicle test guidelines in relation to private hire
vehicles.
At its meeting on 12 September 2011, the
Licensing Committee resolved, subject to consultation, to delete
the contents of condition 2.7 of the private hire vehicle
conditions (in relation to tinted windows) and replace it with a
condition stating “All glazing shall comply with the Road Vehicles
(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (as amended).” The effect
of this amendment would be to remove the restrictions relating to
the level of light transmission in windows to the rear of the ‘B
pillar.’ The requirements of the Road Vehicles (Construction and
Use) Regulations 1986 would still apply, namely that there must be
a minimum of 75% light transmission in windscreens and 70% in
windows to the front of the ‘B pillar.’
Consultees are asked to provide any
views in relation to the proposed amendment of Private Hire Vehicle
condition 2.7, as set out above.
The Committee further resolved to approve,
subject to consultation, a set of private hire vehicle test
guidelines. It is proposed that the vehicle test guidelines,
available via the link below, will be used by each of the Council’s
approved test centres when inspecting Private Hire Vehicles. It is
suggested that the adoption of test guidelines will be of
assistance to vehicle proprietors by ensuring that the standards
which the Council expects Private Hire Vehicles to meet are
clear.
Consultees are asked to provide any
views in relation to the proposed vehicle test
guidelines.
A copy of the existing Private Hire Vehicle
conditions and the report to the Licensing Committee are available
via the links below.
Responses must be submitted in writing either
by post to the Licensing Section, Westfields, Middlewich Road,
Sandbach, Cheshire CW11 1HZ or by e-mail marked “Private Hire
Vehicle Conditions” to licensing@cheshireeast.gov.uk
Please note that the deadline by which all
responses should be submitted is 3rd January 2012.
