unless traders buy £5m insurance cover,
but as Lizzie Smith, chairman of the Bath Road Traders' Association, said she thought the ruling was unnecessary: 'it is rules for rules and they are a bunch of party poopers, we were happy to hire a cherry picker to get up there and would have paid for that ourselves, but nobody was willing to take on a £5 million public liability policy, which is quite understandable,'
what a pity for the people of Cheltenham that Gloucestershire Highways and Cheltenham Borough Council, (who would already have liability insurance for this if they were to put it up), could not have come to some sort of compromise with the Bath Road Traders' Association, I wonder how all of the other towns and cities in the UK overcame this problem with their bunting across streets?
