To ask Her Majesty's Government how the new digital planning service, Street Manager, will work in practice to improve the coordination of street works; and whether that service will be piloted.

Street Manager will improve the planning, management and communication of street and road works in England. A key feature will allow works promoters and local authorities to see all planned and live works, to identify opportunities for collaboration and joint works.
It is already being piloted by a small number of organisations. It will be used by a closed group of local authorities and utility companies during development, due to begin in May 2019. This new digital service will be fully tested later in 2019.
