Plans for Under Road Ducts for Cabling and Utilities

May 23 2003

A steering group has been put together to draft the bill, with the first draft expected to be ready for publishing next month.

The biggest obstacles from both the councils and contractors point of view is who pays for the ducts and who owns them.
