Our view

Torrevieja allows the van but bans the leaflet for anyone selling something. A shop handing out a flyer does no more harm to the street than a political party doing the same.

Restrictive

No street teams, no leaflets on the beach, no parked advertising vehicles. Moving vans aren't addressed.

Proportionate

Promotion that sets up nothing on the street counts as ordinary use and needs no permit. Stands and leaflet points need authorisation. Persistent touting is banned.

Proportionate

Yes for moving vans, and very probably bikes. No for parking as a billboard. Leaflets need notice to the cleaning service.
