Rejected petition Stop local councils from banning licensed ice cream vans from street trading.

London council has recently decided to try to ban all ice cream vans from street trading. Due to emissions. If this happens and other councils follow suit it will be the end of one of England’s greatest traditions.

More details

All ice cream vans are licensed and have a food standard rating, an ice cream van can cost upto £100k and are no different to delivery vans, catering vans and HGVs.
Why single out the ice cream van for a total ban?
