Forecourt not a Highway

The notice on the front of the BT Telephone Exchange on Cheadle High Street reads:

BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLC
THE OWNER OF THE LAND AND FORECOURT
IN FRONT OF THESE PREMISES, HAS NOT
DEDICATED AND DOES NOT INTEND TO
DEDICATE AS A HIGHWAY, THE SAID LAND
AND FORECOURT OR ANY PART THEREOF
OR ANYWAY THEREUPON OR THEREOVER.

So that's you lot told and don't you forget it there!
