Contractors fined £685k for non-compliant Norfolk roadworks

A county council has issued fines totalling £685,000 in a year for non-compliant County Council said it issued 44,000 street and roadwork permits in 2024-25 to utility firms and it said it rejected 5,400 of 7,000 applications for unplanned emergency works, deeming them penalty notices totalling £340,000 were handed out for 2,809 repairs that did not have a permit or failed to comply with permit conditions. The remaining £345,000 was collected from 306 repair jobs which overran, causing a total of 1,317 additional days of disruption on the county's roads County Council said 74 utility companies had the legal right to undertake works on public highways, and as such its powers "remain limited under national legislation".But the council said it was "committed to holding companies accountable" and in the past 12 months it successfully prosecuted two utility companies where a court imposed fines totalling almost £100,000, with full costs Plant, cabinet member for highways, infrastructure and transport said: "We are doing everything within our power to manage the impact of roadworks on Norfolk's communities."But the reality is that we don't have the authority to stop or delay many of these works. "Utility companies have a legal right to dig up our roads, and in emergency cases, they can start work before even notifying us. "While this lack of control makes it incredibly difficult to protect residents from disruption, we do hold third parties to account and will issue fines and reject permits when we need to."

UK-based medical device company seeks $4 billion in sale, FT reports

June 3 (Reuters) - UK-based medical device company CMR Surgical has put itself up for sale at a valuation of up to $4 billion, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The surgical robotics maker had hired advisers in recent weeks to initiate the sale process, likely to elicit interest from large strategic buyers, the report added. Founded in 2014, CMR Surgical received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the upgraded version of its flagship Versius surgical robot in October last year, to be used in gall bladder removal procedures. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. CMR Surgical did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
