I can't believe someone from the council was willing to deter a child from running their harmless business just to get a few extra pounds.
They must be having a laugh if they think an innocent child should have a business permit to be allowed to sell her homemade drinks.
I don't understand why the council member would be willing to do this? I know that councils need more funding but you don't get it by robbing a young girls family.
This was really heartbreaking to read but at least the fines were cancelled but as you said the damage has been done @thecryptofiend and the child may never take to the streets to chase her little entrepreneurial instincts.
Yes it is surprising but it seems we hear these kind of stories more and more frequently.
