Permits and rules in Risca

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.
The M4 is 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.
