Division/Wards Affected: All

Purpose: To seek approval for the adoption of a policy titled ‘Provision of a Management of Commercial Obstruction on the Highway’. The Policy will cover various occasions when a business wants to use the Public Highway for reason of benefit to that company. It will bring a consistency to the policy, both within MCC processes and the wider Local Authority community by using a specific licensing and charging mechanism for any organisation seeking to make use of the public highway.
