I can’t imagine it’s an EU thing, but more likely lobbying.

The thing I don’t understand is why councils are not allowed to decide: then properly localist solutions could be brokered meaning shoppers, businesses and fundraising agencies all benefit from an agreement designed to suit the local area.

Either that or the charities business are giving financial donations to political parties in exchange for policy favours.
