BARROW traders have been granted permission to trade directly outside their premises for the Super Soapbox Challenge event.
The event planned for August 29 is expected to draw big crowds.
A spokersperson said: "We have been asked by a local business if they are allowed to trade outside the front of their premises on the day of the Super Soapbox event. Their response is that if they are trading immediately outside the front of their premises, no additional licensing is required from us, with the exception of alcohol sales.
“Extra authorisation is required under the Licensing Act for the sale of alcohol."
“We would also add that we expect it to be a busy day with large crowds, so if you are planning on trading at the front of your premises, please make every effort to do so without obstructing the pavement.”
