Subject: submission to the joint committee
On behalf of Notting Hill Housing trust
Charity shops.
l would like to fully support the
submission made by the association of Charity shops regarding
the de-regulatory measure set out in section 66 C(2) of the draft
bill. The requirement to notify the precise day or date and location
of each collection we make for our shops would be totally detrimental
to our work it would undermine much needed funds raised by our
shops for good causes. We like most other charity shops rely
heavily on our door-to-door collections to keep our shops running,
in turn this provides a very eco friendly way for recycling textiles
,books, and much more. The requirement does not bear out the cost
that would be incurred and is unworkable for a small chain of
shops like ours to administer
Amendment sought
* l agree with the association of Charity
shops that paragraph 66 C(2)
of the draft bill should be amended
so that the notification required for the collection of goods
house-to-house by the charities local authorities should be made
only on a periodic basis (e.g. annually) and in very general terms
regarding timing/frequency and location. It should not be required
for every individual collection
