Conclusion
Acknowledged
It was disappointing to hear that, having said in 2019 that further investigation was needed into the financial impacts of increasing the guarantee period, the Department has not undertaken any further work on the issues. This is an inefficient use of a resource-intensive consultation process. (Conclusion, Paragraph 36)
Government Response Summary
The government outlines the current oversight and dispute resolution framework for street works in England and commits to engaging with HAUC (UK) to understand if existing processes for dispute resolution, performance monitoring, and legislative application could be enhanced. It also states it will continue to engage with the Scottish government regarding their Road Works Commissioner.
