Surely having a mewp on the road is exactly the same as having a van and chipper on the road (in terms of size/space).

 

So is the issue the work being carried out, wether it be above or on the road?

 

Common sense should dictate that if you have signed up, coned up, hi-vised up and are working safely then you are not causing a obstruction. But then again have local councils got common sense!

Ah ok cool, I was just trying to figure out if it's specific to the use of mewps or cranes (and scaffold/skips) or if there might be the potential for problems with generally working in or above the road.
