Paragraph 100 Apparatus of National Grid in temporarily closed streets and public rights of wayI1

Where any street or public right of way is temporarily closed under article ‎11 (temporary closure of streets and public rights of way), if National Grid has any apparatus in the street or public right of way or accessed via that street or public right of way National Grid has the same rights in respect of that apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the temporary closure and the undertaker must grant to National Grid, or procure the granting to National Grid of, legal easements reasonably satisfactory to National Grid in respect of such apparatus and access to it prior to the temporary closure of any such street or public right of way but nothing in this paragraph affects any right of the undertaker or National Grid to require the removal of that apparatus under paragraph ‎103 or the power of the undertaker, subject to compliance with this sub-paragraph, to carry out works under paragraph ‎105.

Notwithstanding the temporary closure or diversion of a street or public right of way under the powers of article ‎11 (temporary closure of streets and public rights of way), National Grid is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such street or public right of way and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such street or public right of way as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the temporary closure or diversion was in that street or public right of way.
