One of the duties of the Commissioner is to produce an Annual Report outlining his objectives and how they have been met. The Commissioner is accountable to the Scottish Ministers and ultimately to the Scottish Parliament.
John Gooday, the Scottish Road Works Commissioner said:
"I am pleased to announce the publication of my fourth Annual Report."
"This report contains two complete years worth of monitoring data and analysis and I am pleased to be able to say that overall, the trends during the year have generally shown improved performance. However, in some individual organisations the rate of change has been slower than might have been hoped and we continue to work with them to encourage further improvement."
"At the turn of the year I issued the second round of Performance Reviews to roads authorities and to the main utility companies. These contained selected monitoring data for each organisation and provided a textual summary of its performance over four quarters. I did not consider that the performance of any individual organisation, based on the monitoring reported in the Performance Reviews, warranted the imposition of a Commissioner penalty. However, these Performance Reviews did not cover the standard of utility company reinstatements, which I have mentioned in previous reports as an area of performance which has been particularly problematic."
"The latest National Coring Programme, which investigates utility company reinstatements, commenced in the autumn of 2010 and the results are due to be published shortly. I will carefully review these results to see if the step change improvement which I have been seeking has been achieved and if not, then I will have to consider the use of my powers to impose penalties up to a maximum of £50,000."
