Permits and rules in Welshpool
Powys Council is the highway authority for Welshpool: Powys is the highway authority for local roads. Trunk roads are managed by the Welsh Government, through its trunk road agents.
Street works in Wales are co-ordinated by the local highway authority under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Some Welsh authorities need notices and others run permit schemes, so the notice period depends on the council.
The A458 and A483 pass through or close to Welshpool. 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.
Welshpool is home to around 6,664 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
