The politician responsible for supervising roadworks in the county says he wants to introduce a lane rental scheme for utility companies. It’s after gas works in Hills Road came to a premature end.
Cadent Gas began upgrading 1.4 km of gas pipes along Station Road and Hills Road in June, but failed to return to the site after a pause for Remembrance Day.
Cambridgeshire County Council says that caused fresh disruption for buses, residents and businesses, and created complications for other utility firms.
The council’s streetworks team has now withdrawn Cadent’s permit and issued 6 fines.
UK Power Solutions and Cambridge Water will carry on with their work, with the aim of reopening Hills Road on Friday 5 December.
Lib Dem Alex Beckett told Julian Clover he wants companies to think about how long they are taking to complete their works.
