Written Question
Road Works
Monday 6th July 2026

Asked by: Olivia Blake (Labour - Sheffield Hallam)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will review the national standards that utility companies are required to follow for roads and pavements, including reviewing section 58 of the Highways Act 1980 to reduce the requirement for a resurfaced area to be 30m long before protections apply, and for protections to apply where works have been undertaken by private companies.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Restrictions on street works following substantial road works are provided for under section 58 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. The criteria for applying those restrictions, including the circumstances in which road works qualify as substantial road works, are set out in secondary legislation. The Government keeps the operation of the street works regime under review and works closely with local highway authorities and utility companies to ensure that works are carried out in a way that minimises disruption to road users.
