Torbay Council co-ordinates street works to avoid conflict of major schemes and works using traffic control. We licence people and contractors to work on the highway and ensure that people / contractors that do, are working safely and in accordance with legislation. We also maintain a street works register of these licences.
Bulletins
To help you plan your journey in Torbay with greater ease we have compiled a weekly roadworks bulletin (see Related Documents) which states all pre-planned roadwork's by utility companies. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience these works may cause you.
