An Overview of the Key Changes to SROH for Managers and Supervisors [Prepared by the HAUC (UK) SROH Working Party]. Coming into force as statutory guidance on 10th May 2021
The road network impacts everyone’s lives, facilitating travel and supporting essential services like water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications. Utility companies must maintain, repair, and install apparatus under roads efficiently to minimize disruption. The statutory code of practice under Section 71 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 ensures high standards for road reinstatement. This version of the Code replaces the 3rd edition in England and comes into force as statutory guidance on 10th May 2021. It can be used by agreement with local authorities until then, especially if it helps during the coronavirus pandemic.
