384.Section 266 inserts a new section 301A into the 1980 Act so that a borough council carrying out highway work which affects a GLA road or a road in another London borough must notify TfL, and where the road is in another borough, the council of that borough as well. TfL is given a power to direct the borough not to undertake the work so long as TfL or another borough objects. Where TfL or another borough objects, the GLA can give consent to the work after consideration of the objection.
