Licences and street trading
Watford Borough Council administer and issue a variety of licenses, registrations, approvals and permits relating to a range of activities and businesses.
Many licences are issued after consultation with other departments or agencies, including environmental health, the police, fire service and Trading Standards.
We carry out checks and inspections on a regular basis. We regularly inspect premises to ensure that all the conditions attached to the licence or registration are being met and we will investigate complaints including those concerning premises operating illegally without a licence.
Some common licences are not issued by us. Door supervisor licences are issued by the Security Industry Authority.
Hertfordshire County Council is responsible for issuing a range of licences including:
- performing animals
