Sadly it's not a good No.1 position to be in.
The Scottish Road Works Commissioner has issued penalties totalling £138,000 to seven utility organisations for failing to comply with their statutory obligations when placing cables and pipes in roads.
These failings were identified by the latest Scottish National Coring Programme in which core samples were taken to confirm that the reinstatements met the required quality standards.
The organisations and the values of the penalties which have been issued are as follows:
Company | Penalty amount |
Virgin Media | £80,000 |
Last Mile Electricity | £15,000 |
Vodafone | £15,000 |
Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution | £12,000 |
Neos Networks | £7,000 |
Mua Electricity | £5,000 |
Commsworld | £4,000 |

They nearly made it to the top of the maximum permitted penalty of £100,000, only missing it by £20,000.
Better luck next time VM!
Edit: Maximum penalty corrected.
