Section 58 Notices
Section 58 Restrictions
Within the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRASWA) a Section 58 restriction is a legal notice served by Wiltshire Council on all the statutory undertakers who carry out work in the Wiltshire area.
A Section 58 notice prevents statutory undertakers from digging up the road for a period of 2 to 3 years after resurfacing or reconstruction.
In special cases statutory undertakers can dig up a road if there is an emergency or they need to provide a new service to a customer.
