When carrying out any building work/maintenance or removal of any part of a property which is adjacent to the public highway (road, pavement or rear lane), the safety of all users of the highway must be paramount. This is achieved by providing safe areas at ground level or a platform at high level.
When it is necessary to place hoardings on the highway around the place of work or scaffolding, the scaffolding/hoarding company must apply for a licence. Such a licence is issued by the Traffic Management section of the Unity Partnership from where a licence application form may also be obtained. Alternatively, an application form can be downloaded using the link below.
