Permits for working on public roads
Apply for a road opening permit
This permit allows you to undertake minor work, such as creating a dropped kerb access, or installation of apparatus. You will have to make sure any contractor you employ is suitably qualified to work on the public road. Do not start work until you receive official permission from us.

Have the following documents to hand:
- Third party insurance documentation
