Food hygiene and safety

There are certain restrictions on where you can trade with a mobile food vehicle within North Tyneside. If you're parking on private land this must always be with the express permission of the landowner.

There may be planning constraints attached to the land so always check with our planning officers before coming to any agreement with a landowner.

You cannot trade from any council owned land without the permission of our Estates and Valuation Team. Permission is not normally given but there are certain permitted sites that are leased annually through a tender arrangement.

Trading from a public highway (footpaths, verges and lay bys) is generally prohibited, contact the councils Highways Team for advice.
