Mobile Catering Not Allowed to Trade in Lay By

by Roy
(Deal Kent)

I have been visited by the council and told i cannot work in this lay-by as it is apparently not a trunk lay-by it’s on a c road and is a large lay-by where lorries park overnight, also the local school has complained but I am at least quarter of a mile away and there are convenience shops closer to them than me.

There are no parking restrictions. I have been told to apply for a street traders licence but have had to cease trading. Is this correct about a non trunk lay-by the council licensing said its owned by the council not by highways is this correct
