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 introduced a simpler process to allow tables and chairs to be placed on the pavement.

These licences will expire on 30 September 2024.
