Petition Action

Stop companies closing roads unless people are working on the road closure.

Petition Details

Every day roads are temporarily closed by utility or road repair companies and the site is then left unmanned with no one working on it. To minimise the time the road is closed and the resultant disruption, companies should be fined if they have closed a road and do not have people working on it.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local roads are the responsibility of your local council.

You can find out which local authority is responsible using a postcode and this website: www.gov.uk/request-speed-limit-change

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
