Commentary on Sections Part 5: Highways and Roads Section 62: London borough councils exercising powers under Highways Act 1980 so as to affect strategic roads
171.Section 62 amends section 301A of the Highways Act 1980. That section currently provides that a London borough council proposing to carry out highway work which will affect or is likely to affect 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 or another borough may object to the borough undertaking the work. Where TfL or another borough objects, the GLA can give consent to the work after consideration of the objection. This section amends section 301A so that its provisions apply to strategic roads as they apply to GLA roads and roads in another London borough.
