To collect money or sell articles for the benefit of charitable or other purposes in England or Wales, you require a street collection licence from your local council.
Eligibility Criteria
The promoter must be an adult. All collectors must be sixteen years of age or older. You must give at least 28 days notice of a collection.
No, because your requested date may conflict with an existing authorised collection. If you have not heard from Licensing Division within 21 days, please contact 01792 635600 to seek clarification.
You MUST contact Licensing Division to agree a date for your collection prior to completing this online form. (If you do not contact Licensing Division your requested date can conflict with an existing authorised collection, which will result in your request being refused).

Consumer Complaint
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Citizens Advice Consumer helpline will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
Other Redress
E.g. about noise, pollution, etc. Also should one licence holder complain about another.
