Reason for Decision:

 

There is considerable risk to the Authority in granting permission for organisations to erect banners over a live carriageway, as items (including banners) could be dropped from the footbridge onto live traffic causing an accident on the carriageway below.

 

Implementation of Decision:

 

The decision will be implemented after the three day call in period.

 

Consultation:

 

This item has been subject to external consultation.
