| AdminHistory | The Public Utilities Street Works Act was "to enact uniform provisions for regulating relations as to apparatus in streets between authorities, bodies and persons having statutory powers to place and deal with apparatus therein, and those having the control or management of streets and others concerned in the exercise of such powers; to render such powers exercisable in land which abuts on a street and is destined for use for road purposes; to make further provision for regulating the closing or restriction of use of roads for the purposes of works and as to the use of alternative routes; and for purposes connected with the matters aforesaid.
The act was replaced in 1991 by the New Roads and Street Works Act. The corporation was not actually under the authority of the act, not being a Local Authority, however it issued its own guidance to firms and companies working with Livingston. These guidelines were based on the PUSWA act.
