C40C135C2001

Where it is proposed to carry out substantial road works in a highway, the street authority may by notice in accordance with this section restrict the execution of street works during the F5prescribed period following the completion of those works.

For this purpose substantial road works means works for road purposes, or such works together with other works, of such description as may be prescribed.

The notice shall be published in the prescribed F6form and manner and shall specify the nature and location of the proposed works, the date (not being less than F1such period as may be prescribed after the notice is published, or first published) on which it is proposed to begin the works, and the extent of the restriction.

3

A copy of the notice shall be given to each of the following—

a

where there is a public sewer in the part of the highway to which the restriction relates, to the sewer authority,

b

where the part of the highway to which the restriction relates is carried or crossed by a bridge vested in a transport authority, or crosses or is crossed by any other property held or used for the purposes of a transport authority, to that authority,

c

where in any other case the part of the highway to which the restriction relates is carried or crossed by a bridge, to the bridge authority,

d

any person who has given notice under section 54 (advance notice of certain works) of his intention to execute street works in the part of the highway to which the restriction relates, F4...

e

any other person having apparatus in the part of the highway to which the restriction relates; F3and

f

any other person of a prescribed description;

but a failure to do so does not affect the validity of the restriction imposed by the notice.

4

A notice ceases to be effective if the works to which it relates are not substantially begun F7within such period as may be prescribed.

5

An undertaker shall not in contravention of a restriction imposed by a notice under this section break up or open the part of the highway to which the restriction relates, except—

a

to execute emergency works,

b

with the consent of the street authority, or

c

in such other cases as may be prescribed.

If he does—

a

he commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding F2level 5 on the standard scale, and

b

F10if he is convicted of an offence under this subsection he is liable to reimburse the street authority any costs reasonably incurred by them in reinstating the highway.

7

The consent of the street authority under subsection (5)(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld; and any question whether the withholding of consent is unreasonable shall be settled F8in the prescribed manner.

F97A

Regulations under subsection (7) may in particular make provision for the question referred to in that subsection to be settled—

a

by arbitration;

b

by a person designated by the Secretary of State on appeal by the undertaker.

8

An undertaker shall be taken not to have failed to fulfil any statutory duty to afford a supply or service if, or to the extent that, his failure is attributable to a restriction imposed by a notice under this section.
