Reinstatement of existing highways amenity licensing/pavement licensing (pavement café) activity in relation to the covid19 outbreak

Government advice was that the hospitality venues must close from 31 December 2020 unless operating as a takeaway/delivery operation.

The council suspended highways amenity and pavement licences on 31 December 2021, see Covid HAL/PL suspension decision 31.12.20

Businesses that remained open under that capacity did so without seating areas.

Those businesses that have either a highways amenity licence or a pavement licence for external seating areas will be permitted to reintroduce those areas from 12 April 2021.
