To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting held on 13 July 2017.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 13 July 2017 were approved as a correct record.

Matters Arising

In relation to minute 9 (Street Trading – Bracknell Town Centre), the Chief Officer: Environment and Public Protection informed Members that the revised street trading fee was suspended and the original fee reinstated as of 24 October.  There had been no financial implications arising from the decision impacting upon any existing street trader.  The fees and charges were due to be reviewed by the Public Protection Partnership, and would over time be harmonised where appropriate across Bracknell Forest, West Berkshire and Wokingham Councils.  The review would ensure that the level of fee to be recovered reflects cost.

The Chairman added that a street trader Licensing Panel which shortly followed the meeting had implemented the original fee which had applied at the time of the application.
