Permits and rules in Eye
Suffolk County Council is the highway authority for Eye: in two-tier Suffolk, roads are run by the county council, not Mid Suffolk. 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.
The A140 and A143 pass through or close to Eye. 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.
Eye is home to around 2,210 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
