As part of our responsibility for administering and enforcing the Council’s Street Trading arrangements, licensing are consulting on a proposal to designate the following:

• Montague Crescent in Brooklands, be designated as a Prohibited Street.
• Olney Road and High Street in Emberton, be redesignated from Prohibited Streets to Consent Streets.

Street traders are typically static fast-food trailers and itinerant mobiles such as ice cream vans. Licensing has a system of either consent or prohibited streets for Street Trading, and only adopted highway can be designated as either.

Consent street means a consent permit is required to trade on or within 60 metres from that street. Prohibited street means trading is not permitted on or within 60 metres from that street.

Next steps:

The consultation period ends on the 27 March 2024, with an intention to take any responses to Regulatory Committee in June 2024. Representations should be made in writing to:

Kieran Evans, Licensing Officer, Milton Keynes Council, 1 Saxon Gate East, Central Milton Keynes, MK9 3EJ or email Kieran.Evans@Milton-Keynes.gov.uk
