As a Highway Authority, Leicestershire County Council has a statutory responsibility to manage its highway (network) in an effective manner, to control and reduce congestion and provide a high level of safe and reliable journeys to the road user.

The Streetworks Compliance Inspector role makes an essential contribution to the delivery of The Council’s statutory responsibility under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and achieves this by inspecting activities carried out on Leicestershire’s Highway Network under the governance of all relevant regulations, statutory guidance, and codes of practice, to ensure compliance and when necessary, take actions and apply penalties to enforce these controls.
