Why are roadworks by third parties allowed to happen?

Question:
Why are roadworks by third parties allowed to happen?
Answer:

We fully sympathise with and recognise the risks of driver frustration that roadworks cause and we continue to work hard to ensure that whilst we cannot, and in any case would not want to refuse works; they are delivered innovatively and collaboratively in the interest of our citizens.

As the local highway authority, we are keen to ‘empower’ utilities to work with the given and legal rights they are entitled to, but this also means they have a duty to answer to communities directly. Whilst we play a role in coordinating third party works, if you have concerns about such activities you can contact the company responsible.
