Permits and rules in Portchester
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority for Portchester: in two-tier Hampshire, roads are run by the county council, not Fareham. 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 Portchester include the A27. The M27 and M275 are 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.
With around 18,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
