Permits and rules in Wigan
Wigan Council is the highway authority for Wigan: Wigan 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.
Primary routes through Wigan include the A49, A58 and A577. The M6 and M58 are within a few miles. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Around 104,000 people live in Wigan. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
