A hot roll street trader has been allowed to operate again after convincing councillors that school children won’t block the pavement at his snack van - claiming they go to Greggs instead.
The popular Edinburgh vendor on Gorgie Road, known locally for its £1 rolls, was forced to close recently after the council found its owner was operating without a licence.
Appearing before a licensing sub-committee on Monday (February 8), John Smith said he was only trading for a month before the visit from officers.
