To consider a proposal in relation to the designation of the A556 as ‘prohibited’ for the purposes of street trading.

The Committee considered a report regarding the proposal to designate the A556 as ‘prohibited’ for the purposes of street trading.

At its meeting on 20 July 2009, the Licensing Committee had approved the publication of a notice of intention in relation to the proposed designation of the A556, and adjoining streets for a distance of 50 metres, as prohibited streets for the purposes of street trading.

A notice had subsequently been placed in the Knutsford Guardian and consultation letters had been sent to the Cheshire Constabulary, the Highways Agency and the Highways Department of the Council.  The Highways Agency had submitted a response supporting the proposal on the grounds of highway safety, and one representation objecting to the proposal had been received from a member of the public.

RESOLVED

(a) That, in accordance with Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, the A556 (to its extent within the Borough), together with any adjoining streets for a distance of 50 metres, be designated as prohibited streets for the purposes of street trading, with effect from 23 November 2009.

(b) That the Borough Solicitor, or officer acting on his behalf, be authorised to publish the required notices of the resolution in (a) above.
