Permits and rules in East Grinstead
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for East Grinstead: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Mid Sussex. 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 East Grinstead include the A22 and A264. 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.
East Grinstead is home to around 28,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
