Internet fibre provider is teaming up with LCC’s initiative to help cut traffic disruption in Lincolnshire.
Netomnia, the UK’s fourth largest fibre provider, has signed up to LCC’s Street Works Charter, making it the twelfth company to take steps to reduce disruption on Lincolnshire’s road traffic network.
Launched last year, the Charter was put together to encourage utility companies to work together, and with the local Highways authority LCC, to reduce the amount of time a road is closed in the same location.
Alison Carding, Health, Safety, Quality and Environment Director at Netomnia, said: "Joining the Lincolnshire Street Works Charter reinforces our commitment to delivering full-fibre connectivity responsibly and with minimal disruption to local communities.
“At Netomnia, we already adhere to the high standards set out in the Charter, working closely with our build partners to ensure that these principles are reflected across our rollouts nationwide.
“We’re proud to collaborate with local authorities and other utilities to keep roads accessible, minimise inconvenience, and deliver high-quality infrastructure that will benefit communities for decades to come.”
Ashley Behan, Street works and permitting manager for LCC added: “As one of the most active fibre companies in Lincolnshire, it is terrific news that Netomnia has joined our Street Works Charter and clearly demonstrates the ongoing desire to keep disruption down to the minimum amount possible.
“We are delighted that 12 companies see the value in being able to work together in a forward-thinking and collaborative way so that the people of Lincolnshire can go about their daily lives with the minimum of interruption.”
Jonathan Evans, Head of Highways Client for LCC said: “The Street Works Charter is a unique document that brings together organisations that work on the Highway in Lincolnshire. Collaboration between the parties will have a positive impact for all road users. I’m delighted that Netomnia have signed up and look forward to working with them more closely.”
