The Contracting Out (Highway Functions) Order 2009 will enable local authorities and the Secretary of State for Transport to operate certain statutory highway functions on a contracted out basis. These functions include highway maintenance and street works functions.
Street works are works carried out by, or on behalf of, undertakers operating under a statutory right, such as gas, water, electricity and telecommunication companies, or under a New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 section 50 licence, in or under a street maintained at the public expense.
See further information on street works.
