A 15-minute waiting time limit for ice cream vans has been introduced by a local council - despite claims it could pose problems for elderly customers.

Worcester City Council said the ruling will govern how long mobile street traders can remain at a single location - and allow them up to 30 minutes if a queue forms.

The change has been brought in after complaints from other street traders holding static licences, who expressed concerns that mobile traders have been loitering for too long.
