The Street Works (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) (Amendment) Regulations 1999

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Schedule 1 to the Street Works (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) Regulations 1992 prescribes the procedure for designating a street as one that is subject to special controls, in accordance with sections 61, 63 or 64 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991.

These Regulations provide that a highway authority shall notify the concessionaire responsible for the time being for the preparation of the National Street Gazetteer when a street is designated as one that is subject to special controls, or that designation is withdrawn and record such decisions on the street works register on the following quarter day (as defined in these Regulations). The National Street Gazetteer will provide a national computer database of streets and is available on the Internet. The Regulations also provide that a street authority shall give written notice to any undertaker they notified of their intention to designate a street.
