Decision details
Operational Protocol for Promotional Pitches in Bath City Centre
Decision Maker: Director Development and Public Protection
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The operational protocol will provide guidance
for customers and ensure management of the pitches to maintain
public safety when using the highway.
Decision:
To approve the operational protocol for the
use of promotional pitches in Bath City Centre following a public
consultation on the use of the highway for this purpose under the
Highways Act 1980. This also coincides with the introduction of a
new self-serve web-based system for customers wishing to book the
pitches to promote a charity/event etc. The Cabinet Member for
Community Services has been advised of this new system.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - Not have any operational protocol-
this is rejected; there is public demand to use the highway to
promote events/charities and having designated pitches where this
can happen supported by an operational protocol, ensures better
management of public safety on the highway.
