Dear Jamie,
Thank you for your request for information relating to roadworks.
In order for me to be able to answer your request for information I require clarification from you with respect to what you define as roadworks?
1. Works carried out on carriageways for road purposes by or on behalf of the highway authority?
2. Works carried out on a part of the highway other than a carriageway (e.g. footway / kerb) by or on behalf of the highway authority?
3. Works carried out on carriageways by third parties (e.g. utility works)?
4. Works carried out on a part of the highway other than a carriageway (e.g. footway / kerb) by third parties (e.g. utility works)?
5. Any combination of the above
6. Something else - please provide a precise definition
Please respond with a definition of what you consider to be "roadworks" and I will process your request.
Regards,
Daniel Meadowcroft
