INStreatham have sent out helpful tips and guidelines to help small businesses in Streatham and Lambeth, reopen their business safely, after the last lockdown.
Reopening Safely
We continue to deliver a host of practical, visible support measures such as queue management and have delivered a number of spray painted ‘Keep your distance’/'Wait here'/'Wash your hands' social distance markers. Below is a suite of offers that will ensure you feel confident about taking the next steps to reopen your business.
Pavement License
Apply for a Pavement License which allows you to have tables and chairs outside your establishment for your customers, providing you with extra socially distanced seating options. The license cost is capped at £100 until September 2021. Lambeth Council will be fast tracking these applications and you should receive it within 7 working days. The Pavement Licence does not replace the existing Tables and Chairs Licence. Apply here.
