We would like to hear your views about the proposed amendments made by the (Acting) Returning Officer, or any suggestions for alternative polling districts, polling places and polling stations including reasons for the use of alternatives.

Draft Pavement Licensing Policy

Worcester City Council is the authority responsible for the issuing of pavement licences.  The Business and Planning Act 2020 created a streamlined process to allow businesses to apply for a licence to place removable furniture over certain parts of the highway.

The licensing regime was originally intended to be in place on a temporary basis but has now been made permanent. In response, the Council has now prepared a draft Pavement Licensing Policy which has been approved by the Place and Economic Development Committee for public consultation.

The Council is now carrying out a consultation exercise in relation to the agreed draft policy on pavement licensing.
