Markets and Street Trading
We serve those who use the Markets of the Royal Borough and
improve the quality of service. Councillors and officers are
charged with ensuring that traders and members of the public in the
Royal Borough have the best services Local Government can offer, at
a price that is reasonable.
For further details of what the Royal Boroughs Street trading
section provides, what traders and customers are entitled to
expect, and what to do if you are dissatisfied with any of the
street trading services see the
Street Trading Charter.
