Permits and rules in Loughborough
Leicestershire County Council is the highway authority for Loughborough: in two-tier Leicestershire, roads are run by the county council, not Charnwood. 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 Loughborough include the A6. The M1 is within a few miles. 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.
Around 65,000 people live in Loughborough. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
