Permits and rules in Featherstone
Wakefield Council is the highway authority for Featherstone: Wakefield 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.
Primary routes through Featherstone include the A628, A639 and A645. The M62 is within a few miles. 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 18,000 people live in Featherstone. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
