The company has pleaded guilty to five breaches of roadworks regulations but has denied four, so a trial will take place.
The company has pleaded guilty to five breaches of roadworks regulations over the works on Sundorne Road, which also included failing to notify Shropshire Council until two days after contractors had started on site.
BT accepts that the notice of works – required to be submitted at least two hours beforehand for emergencies – was not filed with the council until 3.54pm on June 10, and that the notice of completion was not submitted within the required timescale. Finally, it admits to failing to co-operate with council highways officers on June 9 in that after being informed of the “inadequacies” on site and actions required to correct them, it “failed to make the site safe and operatives continued to work unsafely”.
