The government has decided to proceed with the proposals outlined in the consultation. These include:
- requiring at least 50% of any surplus lane rental funds to be spent on highway maintenance
- doubling the level of fixed penalty notices that can be issued for 5 street works offences
- allowing overrun charges to apply at weekends and bank holidays
To make these changes, the government will amend existing regulations. It will also update the street works co-ordination code of practice and the street works permit scheme statutory guidance.
