Permits and rules in Amesbury
Wiltshire Council is the highway authority for Amesbury: Wiltshire is the highway authority for local roads. Trunk roads are managed by National Highways.
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.
In and around Amesbury, the A303 carry most of the through traffic. Work on or next to these roads usually needs signals or a lane closure rather than simple cones, and often off-peak or night working.
Around 13,000 people live in Amesbury. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
