www.gov.uk/government/publications/street-works-co-ordination<\/a>.<\/p>The Traffic Management Act 2004 enables highway authorities to manage works proactively on the highway by operating a street works permit scheme, where a permit to undertake works needs to be approved prior to those works taking place. Over 65% of local highway authorities in England operate a permit scheme and the Government has requested that the remaining highway authorities introduce schemes.<\/p>
The Department is funding the £10m Street Manager project to improve the way that information on works is exchanged and how data is collected and shared. The project will enable better co-ordination and generate data which can be used to inform the public about planned and live works.<\/p>"}

We have no plans to refresh the business case for electrification of the full Midland Main Line, as passenger benefits are being provided through other means, including a new fleet of bi-mode trains, allowing passengers to benefit from new trains sooner. Rapid delivery of value for money passenger benefits whilst minimising disruption will always be our priority, and we will continue to work closely with industry to prioritise schemes that deliver this.<\/p>"}

The Department for Transport, Highways England and other partners continue to work closely together to develop contingency plans for traffic management in case of border disruption in Kent. Known as Operation Brock, these plans have been designed to ensure that the M20 will be kept open and traffic will continue to flow in both directions at times of cross-Channel disruption. Furthermore the Department has requested Highways England to continue to engage with all relevant Local Resilience Forums on plans for a range of circumstances in a no-deal scenario.<\/p>
In addition, as part of sensible contingency planning, the Department has entered into contracts with DFDS, Brittany Ferries and Seaborne Freight which are intended to increase the available ro-ro capacity available to help maintain the flow of trade in the event of constriction of capacity on the short Straits.<\/p>
The Government has also been engaging closely with a range of partners to ensure that trade can continue to move as freely as possible through the Channel Tunnel. In addition, the Government has and continues to hold discussions with interested parties, including businesses, to assess all potential options to provide additional rail freight services in the event of no deal.<\/p>"}
