Permits and rules in Thetford
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority for Thetford: in two-tier Norfolk, roads are run by the county council, not Breckland. 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 A11, A134 and A1066 pass through or close to Thetford. 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.
Around 27,000 people live in Thetford. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
