Trading outside shops
This page relates to the only
streets in London Borough of Redbridge for which a trader could
apply for a pavement trading licence.
Trading from the pavement outside
retail premises is illegal unless you own the land or have a
licence.
From 01 July 2005 the Council
started granting licences for this activity in certain streets
within the borough. You can view the full list of streets by
clicking here.
This was agreed following public consultation and comments received
during the formal consultation period.
The issue of licences is
subject to Council
Policy. Initially they last for 6
months.
Types of goods
Consideration will be given to the proximity of
traders and type of goods traded, to ensure that the amenities of
the area are not compromised by excessive trading.

- New and used cars
- New and used motorcycles
- Second hand gas and electrical appliances
- Second hand clothes
- Pets and livestock
- Containers of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) including any which
are part or fully discharged
