No permitted works right now
Nothing is permitted on the adopted roads around East Village in the next three weeks. If something is being dug up anyway, it may be on an unadopted street — which means the estate management company rather than the council is accountable for it.
Street Manager
Roadworks are not updating
EVH could not read the permit register just now, so this is not a statement that your street is clear. Try again shortly.
- What a permit is
- Anyone digging up an adopted road needs one from the highway authority, with a start and an end date. Street Manager is the national register of them, and this tracker reads the permits within about a mile and a half of East Village.
- What “overrunning” means
- Works still open past the permitted end date. It is the most useful thing in this data and the reason the chart shows dates rather than a count — a promoter that overruns can be charged for it.
- Why your street might be missing
- Unadopted roads have no highway authority, so no permit exists and nothing appears here. On this estate that is a live question rather than a technicality: if something is being dug up on a street with no permit, the works are the estate management company’s responsibility rather than the council’s — which is worth knowing before you report it to the wrong people.
- How often it updates
- Within seconds. The Department for Transport publishes permits as a live feed and EVH subscribes to it, so a permit appears here as soon as the promoter files it — there is no overnight sync to wait for.
- What it does not tell you
- Only works a highway authority has permitted. It is not a list of everything happening on the street: emergency works can begin before a permit is filed, and works on private or unadopted land never appear at all.
