Permits and rules in Wantage
Oxfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Wantage: in two-tier Oxfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not Vale of White Horse. 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 13,000 people live in Wantage. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
