Concerns have been expressed by traders about new regulations covering the size, structure and appearance of street traders' pitches in Bath.
Traders in the city will be required to use more uniform stalls with a pastel-coloured canopy by January 2017 to 'fit in' with Bath's World Heritage status, BBC News reports.
Bath and North East Somerset Council also voted through proposal to ensure healthy eating and local food are promoted on the city's streets.
Sark Kenny, who runs a stall selling leather goods, told BBC News that the changes to his canopy would cost him about £400, but he reckons it might cost some traders up to £800.
Liberal Democrat deputy leader of the council, David Dixon, said that the changes were designed to make things look better, and to ensure everyone was working to the same objective.
