Transport for London (TfL) have published a notice on their website - https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2018/june/virgin-media-fined-3-000-for-non-compliant-street-work-practices

JAG(UK) continues to meet with Virgin Media on a scheduled basis to try and work together to improve their performance across the UK. If anyone has any particular issues of concern with Virgin Media that they would like JAG(UK) to investigate then please get in touch.

Transport for London (TfL) has successfully prosecuted Virgin Media for five streetworks related offences committed on the Transport for London Road Network. The works took place in Wandsworth High Street, Stonecote Hill and Wickham Road between October and December 2017.

TfL must be notified of works being carried out on its road network, which includes London's busiest 'red route' roads, so that disruption can be minimised and safety maintained. Virgin Media failed to provide details of the exact location, dimensions and other engineering information used in the work, breaching Street Works Regulations and causing a significant impact on the road network.
