Permits and rules in Daventry
West Northamptonshire Council is the highway authority for Daventry: West Northamptonshire 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 Daventry, the A5 and A45 carry most of the through traffic. 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 28,000 people live in Daventry. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
