We have published non-confidential responses to the consultation and an analysis of the consultation responses (links below). We will build on the significant achievements of the past decade and we will use your feedback to develop the Programme for launch later in 2019.
We asked for views on two minor amendments to road works legislation. Firstly, we sought views on the proposal to revoke the Scottish Statutory Instrument, “The “Scottish Road Works Register (Prescribed Fees) Regulations 2017” and replace it with a new Regulation to account for the running costs of £855,000 for the 2019/20 financial year. Secondly, we sought views on amending “The Road Works (Qualifications of Operative and Supervisors (Scotland) Regulations 2017”, by expanding the list of approved awarding bodies to include a fourth body, “Lantra”
In total, nine responses to the consultation were received, from utility undertakers, roads authorities and one individual. Brief analysis of these responses is detailed below. Two additional responses were received after the closing date, and so do not feature in the analysis, but have been considered.
These responses have been fully considered. We will now amend/replace both Scottish Statutory Instruments as proposed.
We asked for your opinion on proposals to permit motorsports events, such as stage rallies, hill climbs and trials of speed, on closed public roads in certain circumstances. We sought your views on a proposed two stage regulatory process whereby an event organiser would be required to seek a motorsports permit from the relevant Motorsports Governing Body and then a Motorsports Order from the relevant Local Roads Authority.
We received a total of 3,788 responses to the public consultation. There was clear support for the introduction of a two stage application process with 98% of respondents in support of that proposal. There was also clear support (99%) for the proposals to give powers to Local Roads Authorities to close public roads for motorsports events in line with the powers they already have for other events.
We have published non-confidential responses to the consultation and an analysis of the consultation responses (link below). Preparations are now underway for new regulations and the feedback received from this consultation will help shape that process.
