Permits and rules in Stratford-upon-Avon

Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority for Stratford-upon-Avon: in two-tier Warwickshire, roads are run by the county council, not Stratford-on-Avon. 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 Stratford-upon-Avon include the A46. 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 30,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
