New sandwich van for National Avenue

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the Council’s Licensing Committee have approved an application from Cooplands to operate a van selling hot food and sandwiches from a location on National Avenue near the Ideal works.

This van will stop briefly at a wide range of locations across the city and remain at each of its numerous stopping points for some five to ten minutes. The stop here is scheduled to begin at 10.55 a.m. When consulted about this as ward councillors, we were both broadly relaxed about the general idea but we asked that the number if stops within the ward be reduced from three to one.  Since we were asked about this some time ago Cooplands accepted that three different stopping points round here made less sense than one. John Abbott was therefore prepared to support the passage of the application and it duly went through.
