Permits and rules in Cambourne
Cambridgeshire County Council is the highway authority for Cambourne: in two-tier Cambridgeshire, roads are run by the county council, not South Cambridgeshire. 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 Cambourne include the A428. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Around 12,000 people live in Cambourne. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
