Nabma and Sharpe Pritchard invite you to an afternoon of talks for local authorities on how they can address difficulties caused by the proliferation of pedlars and unlawful street traders.

The event will be held on 16th May 2007 at Transport House, London 2.00 p.m. – 4.30 p.m. on 16th May 2007. Cost £20 + VAT per delegate.

local authorities in obtaining a private local Act of Parliament and the effect that
such legislation can have.
