Trading Licence Mobile Catering Pitch

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on the following:

I applied to Northumbria County Council in Aug 2013 for a traders license for a mobile catering trailer.

I have constantly sent emails left voice mails and now even have a local councillor involved.

Firstly I was asked if I had permission to trade in the car park I had requested, my reply was it is a public council car park, I was then told I would have to request permission to the council, I was then told that it will have to be put to the members for discussion, now they say that I will have to wait until April 2014 to enable then to advertise to any other traders wishing to trade from any public car park.

I am going round in circles, I was made redundant in Jan 2013 and decided to do this as I had applied for hundreds of jobs and nothing had evolved.

I still have not been granted a license can anyone please suggest/advise anything.

Any comments will be greatly received.

Regards

Bev
