Code of Practice for the Display of Goods and Advertising Boards on the Adopted Footway
Overview
Concerns relating to businesses displaying goods on the footway outside shop fronts and in some cases along kerbside opposite shops have been long standing.
Shop front displays can narrow footways for pedestrians and obscure sight lines, with potential safety hazard for vulnerable people with sight impairments, wheelchairs users etc.
Why your views matter
The draft Code of Practice for the Display of Goods and Advertising Boards on the Adopted Footway aims to take a staged approach to dealing with items placed on the adopted footway. By taking this approach, the Council endeavours to ensure the free passage for Sandwell pedestrians along footpaths and the highway and to seek an improvement in the visual street environment. The Code will enable the council to address issues caused by obstructions fairly and consistently.
