Roadworks are affecting my business, how do I make a claim for compensation?

Question:
Roadworks are affecting my business, how do I make a claim for compensation?
Answer:
There is currently no statutory compensation for businesses affected by road works. Successive governments have taken the view that businesses should not have the right in law to any particular level of passing trade, and that traders must take the risk of loss due to temporary disruption of traffic flow along with all the other various risks of running a business. Therefore, there is no statutory provision for compensation by the Highway Authority (as opposed to a utility) if a business is affected by roadworks.
