Collection Criteria | Street Collection Regulations | House to House Collections Act 1939


  1. The Council will not usually permit more than one collection per year by an individual or organisation.

  2. The Council will not issue permits to an individual or organisation, that fails to provide adequate information in order to consider their application properly. This includes any information that might lawfully be requested by the Council in addition to that given on the application form.

  3. The Council will not issue permits to an individual or organisation whose aims do not appear to be charitable or of a closely allied nature.

  4. The Council will not issue permits to an individual or organisation whose collectors are paid more than it considers being 'reasonable expenses'.

  5. The Council will not normally issue further permit to an individual or organisation that has cancelled a street/house to house collection in Spelthorne at short notice (less than one week), or on more than one occasion in the last three years.

  6. The Council will not normally issue permits to an individual or organisation that has held an unlawful street or house-to-house collection within this area, or that of another local authority.

  7. The Council will take into account any decision by another local authority to refuse permission for the individual or organisation in question to hold a street or house-to-house collection, and the reasons for it.

  8. The Council will not normally issue permits to an individual or organisation who has broken the Street/House to House Collection Regulations set by this Council, or those of other local authorities within the last five years, or where it is reasonably suspected that the individual or organisation might do so.

  9. The Council will not normally issue a permit to an individual or organisation that has previously submitted a returns form for a collection that has taken place in the Borough showing that no money was received.

  10. The Council will take into account information or advice supplied by the Police or other relevant bodies in deciding whether to grant a permit.
