Amendments to the Highways Obstructions Policy proposed as part of Investing in Stockport New Model for Regulation

The report is supplementary to the IIS proposal for a new model for regulation which was approved at the Executive on 16th December 2014. This proposed an operating model for the team that will deal with environmental enforcement from April 2015. In this report it was recognised that changes would be necessary to the Highways Obstructions Policy and this report sets out what those changes are.
