Anti homelessness strategy is a success, says Liverpool's Mayor
A new outdoor seating policy supporting hospitality businesses throughout the City has been launched by Liverpool City Council.
The policy will help establishments create vibrant outdoor spaces with lively, welcoming café culture hubs - while ensuring public spaces remain safe, inclusive, and accessible for everyone. The new policy introduces clear and flexible guidelines for obtaining a pavement licence, in line with road safety, public access, and the requirements of the Business and Planning Act 2020. As part of the licencing for outdoor furniture, rules ensure that footpaths and public areas remain clear to allow for safe and unhindered pedestrian movement. The policy works hand-in-hand with the Business and Planning Act 2020;- striking a good balance between:- outdoor business activity and public access. LCC have put together an easy to follow guide to help you apply for a pavement licence. That means businesses will know exactly what's expected and how to meet LCC's requirements. The policy is designed to work for different types of businesses with conditions tailored to local needs. Councillor Dan Barrington, Cabinet Member for Transport and Connectivity, said:- "The new policy is all about supporting our local bars, cafés and restaurants to create fun, vibrant spaces around the City, while keeping public areas safe, open, and accessible for everyone. This policy not only protects the rights of our pedestrians, but also supports local businesses in contributing to a dynamic and sustainable urban environment." If something's not right; like furniture being set up without a licence, there's a clear process for handling it. A well defined enforcement process is in place to address non-compliance. This forward thinking initiative follows significant progress in recent times, with approximately 200 pavement licences issued over the past 12 months. It;s simple for businesses to apply online, and Liverpool City Council have made our fees and processing times as transparent as possible.
