<h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span>
<p>We manage informal trading in Cape Town. </p><p> The
<a href="http://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Bylaws%20and%20policies/Informal%20Trading%20By-law.pdf" target="_blank">Informal Trading By-law </a>assists us to declare an informal trading plan for any place or area within our control. The plan identifies dedicated, restricted or prohibited areas for informal trading in that place or area. </p><p>Informal trading in the Trafalgar Flower Market is currently not governed by an Informal Trading Plan. We have identified a need to develop a trading plan for the area, to better manage and regulate informal trading in the flower market. </p><p> Approval from Council is required as part of the process before any area can be defined as an informal trading plan area. </p><p> In terms of section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments to the municipality in respect of the draft informal trading plan. </p><p> <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20strategies%2c%20plans%20and%20frameworks/TrafalgarStreetFlowerSellers-Informaltradingplan.pdf" target="_blank">Access the draft informal trading plan</a>. </p>
