Permits and rules in Atherstone
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority for Atherstone: in two-tier Warwickshire, roads are run by the county council, not North Warwickshire. 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.
Primary routes through Atherstone include the A5 and A444. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Atherstone is home to around 8,667 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
