answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government wants to deliver better journeys for drivers. Roadworks are essential, but that doesn’t mean they should be in place any longer than is absolutely necessary.

In 2015, we updated regulations and guidance on permit schemes that are now in place in almost 60% of local authority areas and which are resulting in more effective management of street works and reductions in the duration of works. We are also working with stakeholders to review the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in the Highway (SROH).</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/10/2016 11:42:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
