I am applying for my chairty collection permit. How specific should I be about the location where I am collecting?
You should be as detailed as possible (to the street, village, area etc) as it will enable other collection permits to be granted for the same vicinity in such a way so as to avoid collection clashes and enable other worthy causes to collect. The Council will not normally issue two permits for the same area at the same time. ‘Exempt’ House to House Collection charities should do all they reasonably can to avoid collection clashes, which have the potential to inconvenience or annoy the public engaged in their normal activities, as should non-licensable Direct Debit pledge collectors.
