Roadworks
Essential information
for people using roads in Medway.
Who controls when roadworks take place?
Most roadworks are carried out by utility companies: gas,
electricity, telephone, water and cable. These are controlled by
the council under the New Road and Street Works Act 1991
(http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts1991/Ukpga_19910022_en_1.htm).
This allows it to control the timing and quality of the works and
to set out traffic arrangements to try to reduce congestion. I
What to do if someone has dug a hole and the barriers have been
removed
The responsibility for protecting and reinstating a trench or
hole is placed on the company who dug it. If a defect is notified
to the council, it will endeavour to contact the correct company
asking that the situation is resolved.
If you have any further questions, please phone the number
