Hillingdon Council recently debated the management of disruption from roadworks, following significant issues caused by Cadent Gas works in Hayes Town Centre between April and June 2026. A motion to review roadworks management processes, proposed by Councillor Raju Sansarpuri, was lost at a council meeting on September 24, 2026.
