We will seek to minimise the impact on existing businesses that trade from a fixed location, including street traders licensed by the local authority operating in an assigned pitch. Such traders would be able to apply for authorisation to continue trading and, where feasible, these traders should be prioritised. If this is not possible, we expect event organisers to work with local authorities to consider whether alternative trading arrangements can be put in place. Further exceptions to the trading offence may be brought forward in regulations on a case-by-case basis.
