From HBC website:

Only local authorities issue street collection licences under Section 5 of the Police, Factories, etc. (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1916, as amended by the Local Government Act 1972 and Schedule 29 of that Act.

As it's an offence under this law not to have a licence then surely it's down to the police to check them out and prosecute. Probably means it'll never happen.

Don't think councillors would have any authority at all.
