This is a control check, not a maturity assessment.
It highlights where operational exposure typically appears once streetworks move beyond approval and onto the street — particularly under pressure.
A short self-assessment for local authorities operating under modern streetworks management, coordination, and scrutiny.
Are your streetworks processes providing operational control under scrutiny?
Streetworks are operating under increasing pressure from lane rental, public scrutiny, tighter coordination requirements, and shrinking resources. Many authorities are managing complex activity through fragmented processes, manual workarounds, and limited real-time visibility once works move beyond approval and onto the street.
This short self-assessment helps surface how much operational control, resilience, and audit confidence your current approach actually provides when those pressures increase.
What this check covers
-
Coordination across utilities, contractors, and internal teams
-
Visibility of planned versus actual works on the network
-
Ability to evidence decisions, changes, and on-street outcomes
-
Exposure to risk under lane rental and audit scrutiny

If the results reflect your experience, many authorities find it useful to sense-check the findings with an external perspective before pressure increases further.
We offer a short, informal discussion to help councils identify where coordination, visibility, and audit risk are most likely to surface — particularly as lane rental and scrutiny increase.
Streetworks Operational Readiness Check
Answer the questions below to assess operational readiness for modern streetworks management, coordination, and scrutiny.
Based on patterns observed across UK authorities operating under increasing scrutiny, coordination pressure, and lane rental schemes.
Answer based on how the process works on a busy day — not how it is designed to work.
1. Is there a single, live view of all planned streetworks across the authority?
2. Are conflicts between works identified before activity starts on site?
3. Could the authority evidence why a permit was approved, delayed, or rejected if challenged?
4. Are permit changes and overruns formally linked back to the original approval?
5. Is there real-time visibility of what is happening on the street today?
6. Are inspections and enforcement actions digitally recorded and retrievable?
7. Would lane rental charges accurately reflect real on-street occupation?
8. Can senior leadership see current network activity without manual reporting?
9. Are all operational decisions time-stamped and audit-ready by default?
10. If a key officer left tomorrow, would the process still hold?
