Permits and rules in Cannock
Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority for Cannock: in two-tier Staffordshire, roads are run by the county council, not Cannock Chase. 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 Cannock include the A5, A34 and A460. The M6 is within a few miles. 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 68,000 people live in Cannock. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
