The order makes certain areas 'prohibited streets' (streets in which street trading is prohibited) and others 'consent streets' (streets in which street trading is prohibited without the consent of the City Council.

In addition certain trading activites are allowed in the city centre under the Highways Act and the Market Charter.

Enforcement action will be taken against persons contravening this legislation.
