A road that is not maintained at public expense by a highway authority is known as a private street, as defined by Section 203(2) of the Act. The responsibility for management of private streets generally rests with those who own properties that either front onto or border the street concerned (known as “frontagers”).</p><p> </p><p>Under section 230 of the 1980 Highways Act the local highway authority has the power, without commitment to adoption, to require the frontagers of a private street to carry out urgent repairs, within in a set time limit, to prevent danger to road users or the public. This is, however, entirely a matter for local authorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 26/03/2024 10:35:18 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2023 answer text <p>Under the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement, when proposing major changes to ticket office opening hours (including closures) operators are required, amongst other things, to take into account the adequacy of the proposed alternatives in relation to the needs of passengers. We would also expect operators to consider equality related needs of passengers and make this clear in the notice sent to other operators and passenger groups.</p><p> </p><p>Together with industry, we want to improve and modernise the passenger experience by moving staff out from ticket offices to provide more help and advice in customer focused roles. No currently staffed station will be unstaffed as a result of industry changes. Train operators will ensure staff are well located to meet passenger needs in future.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 20/07/2023 14:05:59 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
