Permits and rules in Littlehampton
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Littlehampton: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Arun. 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 Littlehampton, the A27 carry most of the through traffic. 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.
Littlehampton is home to around 58,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
