Streetworks

About Streetworks

Streetworks refers to all roadworks and street-works on publicly maintained highways. Any works on public roads, pavements or footways that require digging, reinstatement, service installations, or other disruption.
Such works must obtain a permit from North Tyneside Council. This must be under a formal permitting scheme.
The permit system doesn’t cover works on private streets. In those cases, permission from the street-owner is expected.

The permit scheme exists to

Reduce the amount of time a road or pavement is occupied by works (minimising disruption)
Coordinate and schedule works better. To ensure multiple utilities / contractors aren’t working on the same stretch at the same time.
Ensure the council has oversight on timing, traffic management proposals, reinstatement standards, and compliance. This is to protect the public highway in the long term.
Improve transparency and reduce complaints by having clearer controls and communication
