You have until 9 January to let Central Bedfordshire Council know your views on their new draft licensing policy for street traders, which proposes to designate all streets within the authority as 'consent streets' for which a licence must be obtained for trading.
The proposed fee is £280 one-off or £750 for an annual fee.
Local resident and former guides' leader, Madeleine Burr, thought the one-off fee would be enough to kill-off the generations-old initiative of fund-raising from cake stalls and such in the community if they had to buy a licence at these prices.

Please send any comments to licensing.section@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk by 9 January or write to:
