Our responsibilities
We coordinate and monitor work carried out by utility companies in the borough.
Monitoring of street works
We meet quarterly with all the utility companies, the Metropolitan Police, and TfL to discuss major projects.
We also inspect 30% of street works carried out. If there's any issue, we work with them to resolve it. If the company does not comply, we may issue a fine. In some cases, we'll complete the street works and charge the company for the costs.
We have limited powers to charge companies for not completing work as soon as is practicable. Companies can apply for an extension of time due to unforeseen circumstances.
Traffic sensitive roads
We label some roads 'traffic sensitive' to keep traffic moving at peak times.

Protecting new footways and roads
We can issue a Section 58 order to prevent street works on resurfaced or newly constructed roads and footways.
We can allow street works on a protected road if there's an emergency, or a utility company needs to provide a new customer service.
