Street Works (Reinstatement) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2006 c.2934

Street Works (Reinstatement) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2006 No. 2934 (W. 266)

Summary:

These Regulations amend (as respects Wales) the Street Works (Reinstatement) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1689) (the "1992 Regulations"). The 1992 Regulations prescribed requirements for the specification of materials to be used and the standard of workmanship to be observed by undertakers in reinstating streets by reference to a Code of Practice issued in 1992. The National Assembly for Wales has approved the issue of a new Code of Practice entitled "Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways" (the "new Code"). These Regulations amend the 1992 Regulations to reflect the fact that paragraphs have been renumbered, and headings have been renamed, in the new Code. The Regulations also follow the new Code by providing that the Code applies to all roads carrying up to 125 million standard axles. Apart from this, the Code introduces several new requirements, notably relating to the use of specific materials for reinstatement of the highway and introducing a new road category for very heavily trafficked roads.
The new Code is available on the National Assembly for Wales website at www.wales.gov.uk.

Made Under:

New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (C. 22) - sections 71 and 104(3) having consulted the European Commission in accordance with Article 8 of Council Directive 98/34/EC
