The Street and Road Works (Charges and Penalties) (Amendments) (England) Regulations 2025 came into force on 5 January 2026. The Department has not yet carried out a formal review of their impact on compliance. The Explanatory Memorandum accompanying the Regulations states that a post-implementation review will be undertaken five years after they came into force.
