Highways LicencesLicences for scaffolding, gantries, hoarding and temporary cross-overs are issued by the Highways Section and not the Licensing Unit. These licences are normally issued to building and construction companies.
Please note that applicants for scaffold and/or gantry licences must ensure they conform to BS ISO 5973:1993 and BS ISO 5975:1996.
