Council’s ice cream van crackdown would see jingles limited to 12 seconds
Ice Cream Van Traders may face new restrictions in some areas, including the boundaries of how long they will last their specific music and boundaries at the housing street parking lot.
The South Cambridgeshire Regional Council is considering changes in street trade policies, which will require sellers to get permission from nearby schools before selling products nearby.
After complaining of some ice cream traders “illegal or unauthorized” sellers, changes are taken into consideration.
In accordance with the recommended rules, the speaker bells can play longer than 12 seconds and are limited between 12:00 and 19:00.
Chimes should also not be played within 50 meters of school hours, hospitals and places of worship.
A report presented to the members of the Assembly read: “The implementation and licensing of ice cream traders was a challenging report by trying to identify places in such rural areas.
“This more flexible approach will allow trade to be realized in all areas approved by the appropriate congregation or municipal council, and a 15 -minute trade limit will be intermittently throughout the day, as visits to locations can be intermittently, the enterprises will have the fair share of customers.
“In addition, these consumers and residents will provide more options and in certain villages or wards will avoid the need to restrict trade with only one merchant, so support local affairs will support our main goal.”
They added that the consent of any merchant operating without the consent of the congregation or municipal council will be canceled.
After the members of the Assembly support the changes, a consultation is expected to be made.
In April, Horsham Council warned the residents about the risks of traders who did not operate without permission after receiving reports of the Vans trade in Horsham Park.
Irregular vans may not have food hygiene and other health safety controls that may pose a risk for those who buy food and beverages from them.
