They are a bloody funny lot in Barnsley

You could try applying to your local council for permission.

Example - Barnsley

seriously though and as a general point, it is incredibly frustrating to,have to navigate obstructions, people, ankle biters and general mess when you are trying to get up and down a high st.

Did you know, even a sign sticking out above head level needs planning permission, or did .

As Des pointed out, you need to check what is private property and what is public highway

As for your trick question, if you clear the snow and are negligent in doing it, should I slip and suffer a loss I will be taking you to the cleaners. If you don't touch the snow , there is little I can do, or so I've heard

this is a good starting point tho' ~ https://www.fpb.org/business-support...-your-premises

For businesses and other organisations, the wintry weather brings with it additional hazards to premises that must be managed. Slips and trips are the most common cause of winter work hazards The Workplace Health Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992, Reg 12 Condition of floors and traffic routes state: "So far as is reasonably practicable, every floor in a workplace and every traffic route in a workplace shall be kept free from obstruction and any article or substance which may cause a person to slip, trip or fall."The HSE Health Safety and Welfare Regulations - Approved Code of Practice, also states: "Arrangements should be made to minimise risks from snow and ice. This may involve gritting, snow clearing and/or the closure of some routes, particularly outside stair, ladders and exposed walkways."
All employers and businesses need to make sure that frequently used access paths which get covered with frost or snow are cleared, gritted or salted to help prevent people slipping. However, there is no need to clear an entire area of snow if the public or employees are unlikely to walk on it.

thank you for the lively brain storming session.

there is a lot of stuffs to digest, and I am sure the ideas will benefit many small shop keepers one and the people once they start to receive such sign and advertisement PCN.

and "any advertisement must be maintained in a condition that does not impair the visual amenity of the site;" those sign are neat, they are small, they are mobile, they improve visibility and direction and no endanger to neighbour client since 5, 10 years, .... unless the enforcement officers have find a way to fall over them from now .... that I can not be sure.
