Street Works Permit Scheme Review

The Council is committed to fulfilling its obligations under the Equality Act 2010, considering these responsibilities a priority. We place a strong emphasis on protecting vulnerable road users in the co-ordination of its schemes, aligning with the hierarchy of road users outlined in the Highway Code. Those most at risk from road traffic include pedestrian, particularly children, older adults, and disabled people, as well as cyclists, horse riders and motorcyclists.

In addition, the Council is dedicated to promoting inclusive temporary traffic management designs and removing barriers to the independent mobility of disabled and older people, adhering to the principles of the social model of disability. These commitments are central in the planning, implementation, and daily management of projects, ensuring accessibility and safety for all road users.
