Street traders could be allowed to expand across a major Liverpool shopping route under proposed new rules.
Currently, market stalls are only permitted along a designated section of Paradise Street, around Liverpool ONE, between Church Street and School Lane. This is currently owned and maintained by Liverpool Council.
Under new proposals by the local authority however, the owners and operators of Liverpool ONE could take over the management of market stalls around the busy trading area and expand the independent offer. According to documents released ahead of the city council’s street trading committee next week, from May 2023, an area of Paradise Street from its junction with School Lane to its junction with Hanover Street, would be designated as a consent street - effectively relaxing the permissions required for stalls to be set up.
