[Closed] Roadworks - What time can they start?

Got woken up at 5:05 am this morning to the sound of drills and one of the machines that scrapes the top layer of tarmac off the road.

Is there a legal time when roadworks can start. 5 am seems a tad early IMHO. A complaint may be going to the council.

If its a busy road they may have to work out of hours, or around traffic sensitive times i.e rush hour. Big fines otherwise.

There are lots of cases where roadworks are scheduled through the night.

Im sure that if there was night scheduling, local residents would be told about it beforehand.
