The Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee (HAUC) was established in 1986 by the constituent bodies of the local Highway Authorities and the Utilities to assist the Secretary of State in arriving at proposals for new street works legislation. HAUC played a significant role in the drawing up of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA), its subsidiary legislation and associated Codes of Practice.
The main aims of HAUC are:
- To advise the Secretary of State on issues relating to street works legislation
- To provide guidance to practitioners
- To provide a forum for matters of mutual interest in relation to street works
The HAUC Community has been set up to provide HAUC members with information on its activities and to offer advice on frequently asked technical questions on street works issues. It also contains the question and answer facility on ETON and notices issues that previously appeared on the NE HAUC website. This community site is in development and will be expanding over the coming months.
