Minister for Regional Development - Traffic Management (1)

Mr J Spratt asked the Minister for Regional Development if Roads Service allows traffic management to be carried out on their network by unapproved companies without traffic safety control officers.

(AQW 5048/09)

Minister for Regional Development:

My Department’s Roads Service has advised that it can only use contractors with the appropriate Street Works qualifications, when contracting out work.

All work is required to be supervised by competent contractors, who must satisfy stringent Health and Safety requirements, before they will be permitted to tender for contracts.
