An annual report of procurement activities.
Recommendations Approved
Consideration of the draft Markets Policy following public consultation
From: Executive - Tuesday 7th October, 2025 7.00 pm - October 07, 2025
In July 2024, the council amended its approach to the licensing and regulation of markets to utilise its powers under the Food Act 1984 rather than the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as previously. The proposed Market Policy builds on this change and provides a policy framework for promoting and growing the council’s existing markets while also enabling the diversity of markets throughout East Herts.
Recommendations Approved
Consideration of the revised Statement of Gambling Principles
From: Executive - Tuesday 8th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 08, 2025
The Gambling Act 2005 requires each local authority to adopt and publish a Statement of Gambling Principles at least every three years. The purpose of the Policy is to set out the principles the local authority will apply when carrying out its licensing functions under the Act.
Recommendations Approved
Parking Enforcement Contract Award
From: Executive - Tuesday 8th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 08, 2025
