Completed Work Request Forms must be returned to us at least three weeks before you intend to start work. Major works may need more notice. If you have prepared a method statement, you should send it with your Work Request Form. If the work needs to be submitted to the Highway Authority under the New Roads and Street Works Act, the same information will usually be suitable for Metrolink.
