Ilford town centreThe Council receives many requests for activities to take place in the pedestrian precinct of Ilford Town Centre. This covers a wide range of things from vehicles promoting public services to carol singing.

Obtaining permission for these activities is coordinated by the Licensing Service and a special street trading pitch is located in the Town Centre opposite Harrison Gibson where they can take place. Exceptionally permission to use other areas in the predestrian precinct may be granted.

You can apply to use this area to inform or entertain the community. It can not normally be used for any activity aimed at generating income, other than charitable collections. Certain trading activities co-ordinated through the Town Centre Manager, such as continental markets, may be permitted.

For some events involving entertainment you may also need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice.

It will be let free of charge to:

  • Registered charities
  • Local Authority and Government Departments
  • Performers and entertainers who either are not performing for gain or who have written evidence that proceeds, in their entirety, will be donated to charity
  • Organisations devoted entirely to promoting the aims and objectives of the Council, in which the Council has a formal interest.

A daily fee is payable by other persons or groups interested in using this pitch.
