LBHARINGEY. The legal position described below relies on the adoption of Street Trading legislation for particular streets.....the situation for LBHaringey is NOT known so the following describes LBEnfield only!
__________________________________________________________________
The parking of a motor vehicle on the public highway with a "For Sale" notice displayed in one or more windows is a Trading Offence in the London Borough of Enfield
The vehicle for which an offence is being alleged may be reported at https://forms.enfield.gov.uk/eforms/eform_WASTE/20_location.aspx
A host of cars have been seized after a trader was accused of illegally street trading vehicles (without a trading licence)
Officers from Enfield council seized the cars last month from Bullsmoor Lane and Hertford Road after complaints from residents and issued a warning to the trader.
If prosecuted, convicted street traders can expect a fine of up to £1,000, plus costs to cover the removal and storage of the seized vehicles.
Enfield council’s cabinet member for environment Councillor Daniel Anderson has issued a warning to people dealing in cars illegally.
He said: “We are cracking down on illegal street trading. They are harming the legitimate car traders, taking up residents’ parking spaces, and there is also the threat posed by the sale of potentially unsafe vehicles.
“Although it can be difficult to track down the people responsible for this blight on our streets our officers are determined to find those responsible and tackle the problem of illegal street trading in this borough.”
