Issue details
Decision to continue to use Streetmanager to manage the network in relation to street works.
Streetmanager is a digital service that is
used to plan, manage and communicate street and road works.
The Department for Transport introduced Streetmanager to bring
consistency cross county borders and across the country.
Streetmanager went live across England on the 1st July 2020.
Streetmanager must be used to plan and manage roadworks, it is a
digital service for the creation, co-ordination and monitoring of
roads and street works. It is used by every authority, utility
company and contractors in England to raise and approve the permits
needed to carry out works, record progress with works, register
reinstatements and inspections and issue any fines.
On the 1st March 2021, the council adopted the Herefordshire
Council Streetworks Permit Scheme which uses Streetmanager to
manage the street works in Herefordshire.

The Permit Scheme and Streetmanager support the councils County
Plan ambitions by managing the works on the network ensuring
co-ordination and minimal impact to the public and businesses of
Herefordshire. In doing so, the implementation of the management
tools will better protect the environment, positively impact on
communities (safety) and support the economy by minimising
disruption whilst enabling development.
The decision reinforces and clarifies the previous decisions in the
councils Public Realm Contract to use Streetmanger.
