Essex County Council is the highway authority for Basildon: in two-tier Essex, roads are run by the county council, not Basildon. 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.
The A13, A127 and A130 pass through or close to Basildon. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
With around 186,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
