Telford and Wrekin Council is the highway authority for Wellington: Telford and Wrekin is the highway authority for local roads. 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 A5, A442 and A518 pass through or close to Wellington. The M54 is within a few miles. 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.
Wellington is home to around 23,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
