Permits and rules in Cranbrook
Devon County Council is the highway authority for Cranbrook: in two-tier Devon, roads are run by the county council, not East Devon. 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 Cranbrook, the A30 carry most of the through traffic. The M5 is within a few miles. 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 6,553 people live in Cranbrook. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
