Why your views matter
Consultation is an essential part of the Scottish Government policy making process. It gives us the opportunity to seek your opinions.
The aim of this consultation is to ask some specific technical questions on the experience of using apparatus plans. The consultation may well result in legislative guidance that will refine the process for road authorities and utility firms supplying information to our ‘vault’ system and ensure is fit for purpose. It must benefit our frontline road workers, the asset owners, the public and end service users. Additionally, we would also like to take this opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the ‘Street Works Qualification’ regime.
We would like your views, supported by evidence where possible, to inform these potential changes.
