Clause 41 - Duty of street authority to
Traffic Management Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Tony McNulty (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Harrow East, Labour)
As I was saying to my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) earlier, there is a level playing field. It does not appear in every clause but, through the statutory duty or otherwise, it is covered. In this case section 59(1) covers co-ordination of utilities and local authority works. If one looks further on in the clause, it also covers the co-ordination of other street authorities where working on a street for which one authority is responsible affects streets for which other authorities are responsible.
