Overview

To place tables, chairs or other temporary furniture on the pavement in South Tyneside, you need a licence from South Tyneside Council.

Temporary pavement licences 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government has introduced a simpler process to allow tables and chairs to be placed on the pavement.

The licence will expire automatically on 30 September 2022 (unless this is changed by the Secretary of State).
