Permit scheme (Street Manager)

Street works rules in England

Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.

Trunk roads are managed by National Highways. Every local page lists the highway authority for that town, so you know who the permit or notice goes to.
