Permits and rules in Garstang
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority for Garstang: in two-tier Lancashire, roads are run by the county council, not Wyre. 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 M6 is within a few miles. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
With around 4,425 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
