LAST CHANCE TO OBTAIN NEW PEDLAR LICENCES
N.T. Hawkers Asked To Apply This Month
All bona fide itinerary hawkers trading in the New Territories
are urged to obtain a pedlar licence or to renew expired licences within
this month.
A spokesman for the Urban Services Department said that after
January 31, 1973, no new pedlar licences will be issued, but valid licences will be eligible for annual renewal on their expiry dates as usual.
New Territories pedlar hawker licences will entitle the holders
to trade only on an itinerary basis in the New Territories.
These licences can be obtained from the District Offices in Tsuen
Wan, Yuen Long and Tai Po, and the post offices in Sai Kung, Cheung Chau, Tai O, Peng Chau and Mul Wo.
The applicant should bring along two photographs and pay a licence fee of $10.
It is proposed to introduce shortly new regulations under which hawking without a licence will lead to mandatory forfeiture of goods and
equipment.
