Permits and rules in Lynton
Devon County Council is the highway authority for Lynton: in two-tier Devon, roads are run by the county council, not North Devon. 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.
With around 1,157 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
