The Executive considered proposed changes to the Highway Obstruction Policy arising because of the previously agreed New Model for Regulation that formed part of the Investing in Stockport Programme, and agreed that the Policy be amended at point 6.1 as follows:-
· include ‘Investigation of cases for enforcement activity will be limited to those that are a serious detriment and/or present a hazard as determined by professional officers’; and
· remove references to a letter to be sent out where an obstruction does not present an immediate danger and reference to a copy of that letter.
