A Bill to set penalties for overrunning roadworks; to make requirements regarding the duration, timing and coordination of roadworks; and for connected purposes.
The Control of Roadworks Bill would introduce penalties for roadworks that overrun and set rules about how long roadworks can run, when they can take place, and how different projects are coordinated. The aim is to reduce disruption for drivers, pedestrians and local communities by making roadworks more predictable and well planned. The bill also covers related measures to improve coordination and oversight.
The Bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons, where MPs discuss the general principles. If supported, it would move on to Committee stage for detailed examination.
