Permits and rules in Ringwood
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority for Ringwood: in two-tier Hampshire, roads are run by the county council, not New Forest. 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 A31 and A338 pass through or close to Ringwood. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Around 15,000 people live in Ringwood. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
