Scotland Gas Networks No attendance will chase for details. Scottish Road Works Register (SRWR) The issue of BT registering multiple notices for the one works was raised. This is not cost effective for BT and is difficult to manage from a Council supervision point of view. Works at Tesco Inshes was discussed – No traffic management was in place although works have already been fully completed. The works were messy and a complaint was received from a councillor. Contractor was D Mack Constructions. Fiona from SSE discussed works on Damfield Road Kingsmills. Traffic sensitive area with works starting at 8am with no notice. This caused tailbacks all the way to Hospital. Alison brought up that the issue with applying for road closures. They need to do more than tick the box that says Road Closure needed to get permission to work on the road. They need to apply using a separate form. Fiona will go back to SSE and address this issue. Payment of FPN’s was discussed. HC used the same PO as last year as instructed however the invoice has been rejected by SSE. Fiona will go and find out a better approach to raising the invoice as SSE need it separated by area but HC do not have the time or resources to split the invoice. 12.0 Scottish water brought up Loch Flemington. - Unauthorised Road Closure raised with Fiona. 13.0 - Needs traffic management - Caithness Slabs were discussed however Ali Nairne is dealing with that.
