Permits and rules in Newtown
Powys Council is the highway authority for Newtown: Powys is the highway authority for local roads. Trunk roads are managed by the Welsh Government, through its trunk road agents.
Street works in Wales are co-ordinated by the local highway authority under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Some Welsh authorities need notices and others run permit schemes, so the notice period depends on the council.
Primary routes through Newtown include the A483 and A489. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
Around 11,000 people live in Newtown. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
