Morning!

 

I'm looking at a job towards Redditch. Roughly 45 conifers all around 60ft+ With 9 to be removed completely and the rest reduced by half.

 

Part of the job is near the road. Within 4 meters at its closest point. It's just as the road changes from 40mph to national speed limit. Will i need any form of traffic management as I don't have chapter 8. (Old man has the old version from about 30years ago which he says is still valid)

 

Also is there any where local that takes logs and chip around the redditch area?

 

Any one know of any big chippers for hire (self drive preferred if possible) around redditch aswell? Roughly 12-18 inch?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

 

The latest code of practice("Red book" 2013) for traffic management applies to the highway. Generally that's taken as the land between two private properties like pavement, roadway, cycle lane, verge etc.

 

If you will be be working on or affecting any of these its best to undertake a traffic management risk assessment by a competent person to determine your best options.

 

So, from your brief overview it is likely you will need some form of TM.

 

All TM training and certificates of competency such as operative or monitoring must be refreshed/renewed every 5 years. ID cards should be carried.

 

On good news the latest code of practice has some really sensible and practical solutions to TM. Use of traffic lights is one of the last resorts!

 

Hope that useful.

 

All the best,

 

Simon
