GeoPlace takes over rationalistion of Streetworks codes

Asphalt workers
From 1 April 2011, GeoPlace has taken over responsibility for the administration, maintenance, allocation and hosting of the Streetworks Data Capture Code List. This is a database, formerly hosted by the Department for Transport (DfT) that holds codes and tables used in the Electronic Transfer of Notices (EToN) for organisations, known as statutory undertakers, which have a statutory duty under the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA) to dig in the road.

New Street Works Management Permit Schemes

Roadwork coordination Controlling and coordinating road and street works in order to cut traffic disruption and reduce inconvenience to the public is a modern challenge that has occupied government for many years. In 2004 the Traffic Management Act (TMA) was introduced...

to tackle congestion and disruption on the road network. The Act places a specific duty on local traffic authorities to ensure the ‘expeditious’ movement of traffic on their road network and those networks of surrounding authorities. The Act gives authorities additional tools to manage parking policies, enforcement on moving traffic and the coordination of street works. Amongst these additional tools are the ‘Permit Schemes’, provided as an alternative to the notification system set out in the New Roads and Street Works Act.

This latest article on the NSG website ‘New Street Works Management Permit Schemes’ explains how Permit Schemes have been introduced within two areas of England.
