Permits and rules in Coleford
Gloucestershire County Council is the highway authority for Coleford: in two-tier Gloucestershire, roads are run by the county council, not Forest of Dean. 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.
Coleford is home to around 9,275 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
