As Eric stated they were illegal and have now all been knocked down,we watched them doing it with a big crowbar and I for one am glad that illegal shops have gone regardless of how great or comfy, it was supporting crime in one way or another. Maybe the Mayor will now support the resturants and shops that are legal along the front properly and support them providing relevant bean bag or comfy seating in the front area, it can give proper recorded auditable income for the council and this can then be spent on ensuring the area is clean and safe for all not just some as was the case!
