Items placed on the highway such as advertising signs, materials, and trading booths can be a hazard for users of the highway, especially the partially sighted and the disabled.
We take appropriate measures to have unauthorised obstructions removed from the highway as necessary in order to keep roads and footpaths safe and available for use by the public.
We as the Highway Authority for Wiltshire have a responsibility to keep public roads and footpaths open and remove obstructions and encroachments which may affect their use and safety. We will take any necessary measures to ensure that the roads and footpaths that we are responsible for, are safe to use and can be enjoyed by the public.
For more information, please see Obstructions on the Highway.
