Safer footways

The council is determined to give residents the opportunity to walk on our footways without unnecessary obstruction.

• Do not park or drive on a footway.
• Do not leave wheelie bins, bin bags or loose rubbish or place advertising hoardings or shop displays on a footway where they may be a danger to pedestrians.
• Do not place advertising hoardings or shop displays where they may be a danger to pedestrians.
• Do not erect scaffolding without the prior permission of the Roads Authority.
• Do not place skips on the footway without the permission of the Roads Authority.
• Do not attach fly-posters or advertising banners to pedestrian guardrail.
• Do not allow hedges or trees to overhang footways.
• Do report any business that places advertising hoardings or shop displays on a footway, road sign or lamp column.
