Street works

Information about working on the highway and licences and permits that may be needed, reporting issues, excavation in public land and highways charges.

Where can I find out information about road works or street works?

All road and street works in the East Riding are displayed on the one.network website:

one.network - Road/Street Works East Riding

Please note: there should always be a sign on-site showing who is doing the work, how long it is expected to take and who to ring in case of an emergency. 

What should I do if I need to excavate in the road, footpath or verge?

If you need to excavate on publicly-maintained land, for example to install a new water pipe or another utility service, you must have a license AND a permit. Publicly-maintained land includes highways, footpaths, verges and cycleways.
