§ 131. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what arrangements exist for the coordination of repairs in towns and cities between the various services, such as electricity, gas, water and telephone, to obviate the same street being dug up each time for each separate service.
§ Mr. WatkinsonHighway authorities normally consult the statutory undertakers to ensure that works on all the mains likely to require repair are completed before a road is resurfaced, and that alternative routes are not dealt with simultaneously.
In London, there is a statutory procedure to secure the necessary coordination.
