Permits and rules in Uckfield
East Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Uckfield: in two-tier East Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Wealden. 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.
In and around Uckfield, the A22, A26 and A272 carry most of the through traffic. 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.
Uckfield is home to around 15,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
