Two independent coffee businesses are petitioning to continue running in a popular community hotspot- after Bury Council asked them to cease trading in an area of Tottington.
Small businesses Little Leopard Coffee and Love, Love Me Brew occupy a spot on South Royd Street at the weekends. Love, Love Me Brew operates in a vintage horse box on a Saturday and Little Leopard operates in a vintage caravan on a Sunday.
Both coffee vans have street trading licenses but last week, Bury Council contacted them to order them to cease trading in the area with immediate effect, which the van owners' claim was due to a complaint over noise. However, in a statement the council has said the vans need to 'ask for permission' to trade on the land.
