THE Licensing Division has issued some 415 Carnival permits for trucks to be a part of the annual festivities, according to Transport Commissioner Clive Clarke.
As of February 21, there were just 182 people making applications – a far cry from the 223 permits issued in 2023 and 326 in 2024.
Licensing Division administers permits for trucks to play music and/or carry masqueraders on the bed or trailer. Police provide route passes which would allow vehicles into areas restricted for Carnival festivities. The Licensing Division permit is a prerequisite for the police route pass for trucks being used in celebrations. It is not required for residents within a restricted area.
