Permits and rules in Polegate
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Polegate: in two-tier East Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Wealden. 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.
The A22 and A27 pass through or close to Polegate. 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 9,341 people live in Polegate. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
