New Roadworks code of conduct

Boris's new streetworks code of conduct is hugely to be welcomed - with the utility companies promising to label roadworks clearly with anticipated end dates, and a new website for the public to report on roadworks with no apparent activity going on. In London there are 300,000 streetworks each year, with some roads being dug up hundreds of times. The utilities have very considerable leeway under legislation, so let's hope this code of conduct does make a difference. If anyone wants to complain about unattended streetworks in this area, they can also drop a line to us as ward councillors and we'll take it up.
