Permits and rules in Robertsbridge
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Robertsbridge: in two-tier East Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Rother. 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 Robertsbridge include the A21 and A229. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
With around 2,624 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
