COUNCILLORS will meet this week to review their licensed traders policy.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's licensing committee chairman, Councillor Mike Findley, said: "There is a bit of concern about numbers because of the size of the pedestrian area on Redcar High Street.
"People need space to get around, including disabled people.
"I think it's like anywhere else, when you get a pedestrian area people tend to want to be there to sell their wares.
"We have to be very careful we don't have too many. We don't want to stop people; but at the end of the day we have to decide how many. That is why we have asked officers for a report.
"We will be looking at this sensibly and come up with a solution that will hopefully please everyone."
