Dear Sir /Madam

STATUTORY CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGE TO LICENCE CONDITIONS

On 17 November 2014 the City of Edinburgh Council’s Regulatory Committee agreed in principle to amend conditions with respect to second hand dealer licensing.

The Committee also agreed to consult on the proposed changes to these conditions, which involve the following areas:

• Electronic record keeping
• Record of sale price
• Removal of requirement to record description at time of sale
• Removal of requirement to record name and address where value of goods is less than £50
• Proof of Identity
• Disposal of Goods

The consultation can be found at https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/licensing-conditions-for-second-hand-dealers/consult_view

The relevant Committee papers are attached to the consultation.

We would welcome your views on these proposed changes. Should you have any questions, please contact Gordon Hunter on 0131 469 5774 or at gordon.hunter@edinburgh.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely

Catherine Scanlin
