Fiona Encourages Participation in Consultation on How Utility Companies Must Reinstate Roads After Completing Street Works

Letter from Chris Grayling

Fiona is encouraging people to take part in the Department for Transport's consultation on a new edition of 'the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways' (SROH). This is a statutory code of practice that utility companies must adhere to when reinstating roads after completing street works, an issue of local concern with a number of people in the constituency raising it with Fiona.

The new edition includes:

  • new asphalt standards to keep roads pothole free for longer
  • clarification of areas which are currently open to interpretation
  • allowing innovative surfacing materials to be used
