Permits and rules in Ickenham
Hillingdon Council is the highway authority for Ickenham: the borough runs local roads, while Transport for London runs the red routes. Red routes, the main roads on the Transport for London Road Network, need TfL's agreement instead. 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 A40 and A312 pass through or close to Ickenham. The M25 and M40 are 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.
Around 10,000 people live in Ickenham. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
