Severn Trent Water has been ordered to pay more than £56,000 for unnecessary disruption to the public on county roads.
The utilities firm pleaded guilty to ten charges when it appeared at Telford Magistrates Court – with the prosecution brought by Shropshire Council.
The 10 offences related to work carried out across the Shropshire Council area between September 2022 and February 2023. Other offences included working outside of permitted hours on a site between the A5 and Hanwood, as well as failing to"adequately sign, light and guard" part of the road being worked on.
“All of these offences arose from of a misuse of the statutory legislation that is designed to enable utilities companies to engage with the council in respect of planned works being undertaken on the highways network.
