Local authorities operate and manage projects to improve road networks such as road construction, restoration, reinstatement, realignment, resurfacing and safety improvements.
Local authorities work with their service users to understand their needs, redesign services and develop ways to improve access to and deliver better local authority services.
Local authorities set up policy committees where elected councillors and representatives from social, economic, cultural, environmental, community and voluntary groups may advise on, develop and review council policy.
You must apply to the local authority if you want to temporarily close a road to facilitate building works, store materials, erect hoarding, fencing or scaffolding or place a crane or hoist on the road.
