"Ice cream van traders could face new restrictions in some areas, including how long they can play their distinctive music for and limits on residential street parking. South Cambridgeshire District Council is considering new street trading policy changes, which would also require traders to have permission from nearby schools before selling products in their vicinity. The changes are being considered after some ice cream traders reportedly complained about illegal or unauthorised sellers."
"Under the new proposed rules, loudspeaker chimes could play for no longer than 12 seconds when approaching, and would be restricted to between 12pm and 7pm. Chimes should also not be played within 50 metres of schools during school hours, hospitals and places of worship. Traders could face a 15-minute trading limit and require permission from schools before selling ice cream in their vicinity (PA)"
