Why does NJUG think the Code is important ?Cont...
• Coordination, Cooperation, Communication and Compliance
• Continually changing Regulations is not helpful
• Making Utilities (and Customers) pay more is not the only answer
![Page 13: UKSTT Breakfast Seminar NO-DIG LIVE 2010 ‘ Utility Perspectives & Concerns’ 5 th October 2010 Les Guest – CEO NJUG Ltd.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ee55503460f94bf4b57/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why has the London Code made a difference?
• Commitment– From Utility Leaders at the
highest level– From TfL Leaders– All working to the same
standards
• It’s the right thing to do• It has stimulated more
discussions between authorities and utilities
• Made changes to meet the Code AND these have improved utility services

Learning from the Code
• Pleased to learn the lessons from London
• Agreed minor amendments, but prepared to continually improve

Regulations .v. Voluntary Measures?
• It must be clear what new regulations plan to achieve?
• Must understand all the costs to implement
• Real Improvements – How do we know they have been delivered?
• Need to incentivise equally - all those working in the street to reduce disruption
![Page 21: UKSTT Breakfast Seminar NO-DIG LIVE 2010 ‘ Utility Perspectives & Concerns’ 5 th October 2010 Les Guest – CEO NJUG Ltd.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ee55503460f94bf4b57/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Summary• We must all do better at street works and ALL
work together
• Innovation is the catalyst to success
• We must re-examine the way the UK regulates street works and consider self regulation as first choice
• How about a Road Works Commissioner in England to drive changes and ensure everyone who works in the street improves?

Is it too Difficult?I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.
