Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 7 September 2026 to Question 26241 on Road Works: Compensation, what data her Department holds on the number of defective street works reinstatements identified in each of the last five years; and what proportion were remedied by the undertaker within the statutory guarantee period.

The Department’s Street Manager digital service enables local highway authorities to record, monitor and co-ordinate street works, including the identification of defective reinstatements. However, use of the service is not mandatory for all types of works and the Department does not hold complete data on the number of defective street works reinstatements identified in each of the last five years. The Department also does not hold complete data on the proportion of defective reinstatements that were remedied by undertakers within the statutory guarantee period.
