Highway Authority
Westminster Council is considering permanently relocating a street trader's pitch on Oxford Street, following highway works in 2018 that caused its temporary move.
In August 2025, a Westminster Licensing Sub-Committee considered a proposal from the Licensing Service to permanently relocate a street trader's pitch on Oxford Street. The licence holder, who sells ice cream, was originally on Portman Street but was temporarily moved to Oxford Street in 2018 due to highway works.
The Licensing Service's proposal involves rescinding the designation for the original pitch on Portman Street and designating a new location on Oxford Street, 1.1m from the kerb edge. No further council discussions or decisions on this specific proposal are currently scheduled.
