Can I use my own contractor to construct a pavement crossing?
Yes, but we will require a "Highways Opening Up Notice Permit" to be completed to enable an accredited contractor to undertake the work. The appointed contractor also needs to provide details of his Public Indemnity Insurance Liability, currently £5million and details of utility apparatus in the area. A fee of £72.50 is also payable to the Council prior to work starting on site to cover administration costs in issuing the license and checking the crossing is constructed to the required specification
