New technology to help councils and utility companies manage road works.

New technology is being brought in to make it easier for local councils and utility companies in England and Wales to manage road works, Local Transport Minister Norman Baker announced yesterday (9 April 2013).

The electronic changes that come into force on 1 October will modernise the way road works are co-ordinated and administered, making it easier and quicker for councils and utility companies to share information. The new technology will mean that more information on the timing and co-ordination of road works can be stored on one computer system.
