Permits and rules in Walmer
Kent County Council is the highway authority for Walmer: in two-tier Kent, roads are run by the county council, not Dover. 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.
Around 8,178 people live in Walmer. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
