You should be mindful of the environment in which you plan to work and make any necessary adjustments to reduce the impacts on the public.
You should plan works around schools during holiday periods wherever possible, and give extra attention to signage, lighting, and guarding if not possible. You should consult us about accessibility considerations if you intend to work near other sensitive locations such as centres that cater for those with disabilities.
You will need to contact us in advance if you propose any works during these times, as we may need more time to notify people and coordinate the works.
