5. Review of the
Streets (Alter- ation) Ordinance
LW CR 9/3220/81
Purpose
On 20th October 1981 following consideration of memorandum
XCC(81)115 (Gloucester Road flyover) the Governor in Council ordered that the Attorney General should proceed urgently to con- sider possible amendments to the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance. A Working Group was subsequently set up under the chairmanship of the AG.
Progress Made & Present Position
In view of the defects and deficiencies of the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance the Work- ing Group concluded that the only sensible course of action was to draft afresh a comprehen- sive code relating to roadworks. A bill entitled the Road (Works, Use and Compensation) Bill 1982 has now been drafted and agreed between concerned departments. It is to be discussed by Executive Council on 9th February 1982.
