What do you think of 'casual trading'? Kilkenny County Council want your opinion
Draft Casual Trading bylaws for Callan Thomastown, Castlecomer and Piltown
A review has been carried out by Kilkenny County Council of the Casual Trading Bye-Laws for the Municipal Districts of Castlecomer, Callan/Thomastown and Piltown.
The review entailed examination of the current bye-laws and existing trading bay areas and the consideration of new trading bays that may be suitable in certain areas across the County.
When deciding whether to designate any land as a casual trading area, the local authority is required to have regard to the proper planning and development of its functional area, any traffic that may be generated by the casual trading and to all other matters it considers relevant.
The draft bye-laws set out the procedures for licencing for casual trading including for special events. The bye-laws also set out certain conditions attached to casual trading in relation to litter management, food hygiene, insurances, fees, penalties and other matters in detail.
Part 3 of the Draft Bye-Laws provides a schedule of the proposed Casual Trading Bays together with maps outlining the location of each trading bay for each area.
