A proposed £60 per day charge would apply only to commercial street sellers such as burger and ice cream vans.

Small stalls at boot sales, carnivals and fairs would not be affected, Telford & Wrekin Council has clarified.

Confusion reigned over Twitter after organisers of Oakengates Carnival tweeted: "Right so we are worried about the new car boot tax imposed by @TelfordWrekin £60 approximately for all stall holders in area."
