Street Works Prosecutions

Under the New Road and Street Works Act 1991 (“the Act”) a business intending to carry out street works must comply with a number of requirements. These include:

• Providing suitable notice in advance of carrying out street works.
• Ensuring that adequate guarding and lighting is used when the street works are being performed.
• Ensuring that sufficient traffic signs are placed and maintained when the street works are being performed.
• Reinstating the road or pavement to a sufficient standard.
• Providing notice once the street works have been completed.
