Article 19: Charges for whole duration of works

Article 19 inserts a new Article 34A into the 1995 Order.  Whereas Article 34 permits charges in respect unreasonably prolonged occupation of the road, Article 34A enables the Department to collect charges from undertakers of street works in respect of their occupation of the road from the commencement of the works.  The detail of the charging system will be included in regulations.
