Permits and rules in Redditch
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority for Redditch: in two-tier Worcestershire, roads are run by the county council, not Redditch. 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 A435, A441, A448 and A4189 pass through or close to Redditch. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Around 82,000 people live in Redditch. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
