Do I need a Licence?
If you intend to sell, or offer for sale, any article (including a living thing) in a street or on the highway, you must apply for a street trading consent or licence. Trading will be allowed between the hours of 08.30 hours until 18.30 hours Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Licences are renewed annually and require a current certificate of insurance for public liability.
Licences are issued under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, whereby we have powers to control street trading activities within the Borough, and are considered on merit.
Applications will be placed on the waiting list if you propose to sell identical principle commodities that are already offered and would be in direct competition with an existing business within the immediate locality. All food traders must be registered with our Environmental Health Officers.
How do I apply?
You must complete the application form and send it together with the appropriate fee to the Town Hall, The Parade, Epsom, KT18 5BY. Cheques should be made payable to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council with the code HWY91/ZD013 written on the back of the cheque.
Fees:
Food licence / consent £525.00
Other licence / consent £437.00
Mobile food trader licence £782.00
