When can I hold a collection, and how long can I hold it for?
Whereas street collection permits are normally issued to cover a period of one or two days, a house to house permit can be granted for up to a year. There are no restrictions on the allocation of dates for house to house collections. Many collections are carried out by regional or national charitable organisations who often book their collections well in advance.
On successful completion of the application the Council will grant a licence for the period specified on the application, providing that the period does not exceed one year.
