# The National Grid (Bramford to Twinstead Reinforcement) Order 2024, Paragraph 15: Apparatus in closed streets

Extent: E+W

(1) Where any street is temporarily stopped up under article 15 (temporary closure of streets and public rights of way), where Anglian Water has apparatus in the street or accessed by virtue of that street, it has the same powers and rights in respect of that apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the temporary closure but nothing in this paragraph affects any right of the undertaker or of Anglian Water to require the removal of that apparatus under paragraph 18 or the power of the undertaker to carry out works under paragraph 20(1).
(2) Regardless of the temporary cloure or diversion of any highway under the powers conferred by article 15 (temporary closure of streets and public rights of way), Anglian Water is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up highway and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highway as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the temporary stopping up or diversion was in that highway subject to provision of reasonable prior notice to the undertaker (except in the case of emergency) and compliance at all times with the undertaker’s reasonable site safety rules and health and safety law.
