Permits and rules in Long Eaton
Derbyshire County Council is the highway authority for Long Eaton: in two-tier Derbyshire, roads are run by the county council, not Erewash. 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 Long Eaton include the A52 and A453. The M1 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.
Around 38,000 people live in Long Eaton. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
