Charging your vehicle by trailing a cable across the pavement, or hanging overhead, is considered a hazard and not permitted even with the use of cable protectors or ramps. If you do: 

• Any legal liability, such as injury to a member of the public or damages to the public highways, arising from the placement of a cable or protector is your responsibility. 
• Sheffield City Council has existing powers under Section 162 of the Highways Act to seek to have the cable removed.
•  Failure to remove the cable could result in a fine upon conviction under Section 162 and / or Section 178 of the Highways Act.
