The Town of Sandown has passed a new ordinance affecting hawkers, peddlers, and itinerant vendors. Effective from June 1, 2024, these vendors must obtain a license to sell or distribute goods in the town. The ordinance aims to ensure that sales activities are orderly.

The Board of Selectmen introduced this rule to protect public safety, health, and welfare, and to reduce disruptions from door-to-door sales. It also helps local police monitor soliciting activities.

Vendors need to apply for a license through the Town's official process before starting sales. Details on the application process and the ordinance text are available from the town's documentation.

The Sandown Police Department will be notified of any soliciting activities to manage them effectively. This measure is part of the town's effort to keep commercial activities under control.
