<p>Compensation arrangements are already provided through The Gas (Street Works) (Compensation
of Small Businesses) Regulations 1996 and the Water Industry Act 1991, which provide
for compensation to be paid in certain circumstances in respect of loss or damage
caused by gas-related and water-related street works. More widely, we are taking steps
to reduce the disruption caused by street works, including the wider application of
permit schemes and the piloting of lane rental. Further information about these initiatives
