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.

Tattooing, Piercing and Acupuncture Licence
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
Borough; and (ii) those carrying on the practice of acupuncture
within the Borough, to register both themselves and the premises
where the business/practice is to be carried on with the Council.
The requirements within sections 14 and 15 of the 1982 Act do not
apply to the carrying on of such a business by or under the
supervision of a person who is registered as a medical practitioner
(or a dentist in the case of acupuncture) or to the premises of
such a person. Failure to register is an offence, for which the
penalty on summary convictions is a fine not exceeding £1,000.
The predecessor district councils (i.e. Congleton Borough
Council, Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council and Macclesfield
Borough Council) previously resolved to adopt the provisions of
sections 14 to 17 of the 1982 Act; the resolution made on 13th
October 2011 has been made to confirm the adoption within the
Borough.

Solicitor.
