Street Works are works in the highway to place and maintain apparatus such as gas, water, telecommunications and electricity supplies.

Street Works carried out by the Highway Authority are known as Works for Road Purposes.

Utility companies such as BT, Transco, South East Water and Scottish & Southern Energy are known as Statutory Undertakers because they have a statutory right to place and maintain apparatus in the highway. These utility companies are required to inform the Council of any Street Works they are planning to undertake. These notices are recorded in a Street Works Electronic Register.
The length of notice required varies from one month for major works to two hours after works start for emergency works.
