Hi all,
Thanks for flagging this on up, Pauline.
I don’t remember seeing info on a trading licence application for a double
decker bus like this either.
The location is similar to the one applied for in another planning application
for a fast food van in October, see attached.
However, that one was for a Citroen Relay light van (reg.No. SO57UJR), which I
haven’t seen yet down there (or maybe missed seeing it). So presumably this van
is still to come?

Whilst I generally don’t mind if someone wants to make a living in a place
where there is demand, I question whether several vans should be allowed a
license down between Footdee and the beach cafes. Are they needed, or have we
not reached an over-supply already? There are several cafes in the buildings by
the amusements, and surely these van traders impact on the trade of the local
businesses? Who assesses whether new trading licenses undermine the trade of
existing businesses?
I do also have a concern about litter increasing. Whilst mobile traders are
usually responsible and provide waste bins, that does not mean that all
customers will use them. There will always be some folk that don’t care much.
So more local sources for food wrappers/cups and more users are likely to mean
more rubbish flying around. A lot of what is dropped on the promenade flies
along southwards, ultimately gathering in the alleyway at the back of the North
Square houses.
Regards,
Marianne

Good afternoon, all,
Further to discussion at last month's meeting, today I saw a second trader
near the previously discussed trader-a double decker bus declaring
him/herself as a 'mobile cafe''.
Did anyone see a licensing application from this latest trader who wants to
jump on the tails of the beach/ Fittie free for all? Or did it slip past
before CPCC could comment?
Please let me know.
Kind Regards
Pauline
