Your local councillors were alerted by local people to the unauthorised decking that was installed outside The Ivy on the High Street during the May bank holiday weekend. Such a seating platform does not allow proper pavement cleaning and detracts from the character of a listed building on the High Street as well as narrowing the pavement so by causing congestion for pedestrians. We took steps and it was removed in June although currently a planning application is being considered.
