Article 8: Directions as to placing of apparatus

Article 8 inserts a new Article 16A into the 1995 Order.  It provides street authorities with a power to direct undertakers not to use a particular street in which to place their apparatus.  This would be in cases where the authority considers that the works would cause serious disruption to traffic and there is an alternative street in which the apparatus could be placed, resulting in less disruption.
