Decision:

10.1

This report set out a proposal to change the designation of streets in Sheffield City Centre from Consent Streets to Prohibited Streets and requests permission to commence the process to make that change starting with the publication of the Council’s intention to pass a new resolution under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provision) Act 1982.

10.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Waste and Street Scene Policy Committee:-

1.     Consider and agree to move forward the proposal to change the designation of streets in Sheffield City Centre from Consent Streets to Prohibited Streets; and

2.     Approve the commencement of the process to make that change including the publication of a notice of the Council’s intention to pass a new resolution under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, Schedule 4 to designate all streets within the City Centre (Inner Ring Road) as Prohibited Streets for the purpose of street trading.

 

10.3

Reasons for Decision
