This is the area where 12 cars for the Bootsale will be and this is the street that gets blocked of during this Bootsale The current Strathmore Community Hub site has capacity for roughly 12–15 vehicles in total and no dedicated customer parking. In my view, this fails to meet the basic spatial and safety expectations normally applied to market or car-boot events. I therefore request that the Licensing Committee review the suitability of this location and the decision to grant or maintain a Market Operator Licence, on the grounds of public safety, traffic management, and lack of adequate parking provision. Based on established local-authority event-management and market-licensing guidance, a site accommodating 12–15 trading vehicles would normally require a minimum of 15–30 additional customer parking spaces to operate safely. This puts all local residents at risk in case of an emergency On Thu, 9 Oct 2025 at 10:33, Civic Licensing <civiclicensing@pkc.gov.uk> wrote: Good morning Thank you for your email.

The strathmore hub in Coupar Angus has recently requested a market license to hold Bootsale a there The area is to close to residents and has caused a nuisance on several occasions it was on there before I have a petition with neighbours and businesses in trades lane who have been effected by the Bootsale happening There was one incident where neighbours got woken up at 4:30am and other instances of residents not being able to get out the street and a business who couldn’t start work due to his garage being blocked
