The North West Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee

The NWHAUC Materials group have been reviewing backfill and reinstatement materials and associated suppliers in the north-west HAUC region over the past year and have developed an approval process for materials.

A list of preferred materials and suppliers has been produced from this process and will be retained on the secure "Members Page" of the web-site. At present this list will be restricted to recycled materials only.

For access to the detail within the Members Page contact must be made with your appropriate NWHAUC committee member. 

Lane Rental -  The Government have announced their intention to run a trial of Lane Rental and have issued a consultation on the way forward. It is likley that two authorities will be chosen for the trial including Central London (TfL) and one other current Permit authority. The aim of the proposal is to try to reduce disruption further, where a permit scheme has already been implemented previously.

Permit Schemes - GMRAPS (Greater Manchester Road Activities Permit Scheme) - Consultation is now concluded and the final preparations to the scheme are underway. The anticipated "go-live" date of the full Permit Scheme is July 2012.

(MAPS) St Helens Permit Scheme - This scheme has now received SoS approval and is expected to "go-live" in April 2012.

Liverpool and Lancashire CC have now announced their intention to consider Permit Schemes.
