Public Works Act 1981

Roads - Damage to and nuisances on roads

130: Notice to be given of local authority works

You could also call this:

“Local councils no longer have to tell you before they work on roads”

This law used to require local authorities to give notice before doing work on roads. However, it no longer applies. The government removed this rule on 1 October 1989. Now, there are no specific requirements in this section for local authorities to notify anyone before starting road works.
