Article: Licences - highway projection Article Body The Barnsley Town Centre Partnership, in conjunction with the council, has produced some guidelines for street displays and advertising 'A' boards for businesses in the town centre. Each business establishment is permitted a width of display of 0.6 metres directly in front of their premises, provided that there is at least 1.8 metres clear unobstructed width for pedestrians, particularly those with a disability. One 'A' board is also permitted per entrance, subject to the same conditions. These must also be sited directly outside the premises. Street displays and 'A' boards are not permitted outside of the Barnsley town centre area. You can apply if you are a business owner in Barnsley town centre. We will send you a copy of the current guidelines or you can click on Guidelines of Street Displays for more detailed information. On request, guidelines are normally sent out within two to three working days. Any problems reported to us are normally investigated within two weeks unless they are presenting a serious impediment to road users. In such cases, we aim to respond within 24 hours. If necessary the council will take enforcement action against any business that has sited a display or 'A' board in contravention of the guidelines or outside of the town centre area.
