Stop issuing Street Trader's Licences to Ice Cream Vans

Petition Details

We believe that vans selling ice creams have several negative impacts on both society and the environment
They:
-Encourage unhealthy eating in children
-Put pressure on parents to spend money
-Cause damage to the environment by creating diesel fumes for long periods of time

Additional Information

The Government should stop issuing new Street Trader's licences to Ice Cream Vans.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about granting licences for street traders are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

I you are concerned about ice cream vans in your area you could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
