Permits and rules in Holt
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority for Holt: in two-tier Norfolk, roads are run by the county council, not North Norfolk. 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 Holt, the A148 carry most of the through traffic. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
With around 4,015 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
