Permits and rules in Bollington
Cheshire East Council is the highway authority for Bollington: Cheshire East 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 Bollington, the A523 and A537 carry most of the through traffic. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
Around 7,939 people live in Bollington. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
