Licensing Service
Westminster Council is considering permanent relocation of a street trading pitch, while Haringey Council is streamlining massage and special treatment licenses.
In August 2025, Westminster Council's Licensing Sub-Committee considered a proposal to permanently relocate a street trader's pitch on Oxford Street. The Licensing Service is seeking to make a temporary relocation, in place since 2018 due to highway works, permanent. This involves rescinding the designation for Pitch 3005 on Portman Street and designating a new location on Oxford Street.
Haringey Council's Licensing Committee discussed revisions to massage and special treatment (MST) licenses in July 2025. The Licensing Service sought to simplify the application process, update local regulations and guidelines, and update the fee structure, aiming to boost local businesses and streamline regulations, according to the Public Reports Pack.
