Local rules
Road works in Northumberland
Northumberland Council is the highway authority here. 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.
Main roads across Northumberland include the A1, A19, A69, A189, A697 and A1068. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of Westmorland and Furness, County Durham, Cumberland, North Tyneside, Newcastle upon Tyne and Scottish Borders.
