Report of the Director of Environmental and Planning Services

The subject of the decision:

This report presented a proposal for a revised policy in relation to street collections within the District. The policy specified the Council’s expectations in relation to any proposed collections taking place within the District.  The draft policy was attached at Annex A to the report.

Alternative options considered:

None.

The reason for the decision:

Where the Council refuses to grant a licence, there could be a risk of judicial review.  The policy would therefore help to protect the Council from a legal challenge.

THE DECISION:

That Council be recommended to approve and adopt the Street Collections Policy.
