  • Mobile Shops i.e. trading from a vehicle or trailer.
  • Commercial Services e.g. taking and selling of photographs, the production and sale of personal portraits, the telling of fortunes, the soliciting of commercial sexual services.
  • Hawkers i.e. a person who travels from door to door offering goods for sale.
  • Busking

  • Soliciting donations
