Road Works: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to encourage local authorities to apply for lane rental schemes.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department is in the process of updating its lane rental guidance and has recently announced a new assessment process for lane rental applications to improve and streamline the application process for authorities. We have been speaking to authorities directly as part of a series of regional visits and are also working with the Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee (HAUC) to develop their guidance for local authorities who are considering applying for a scheme.
