Cheshire East Council is the highway authority for Wilmslow: Cheshire East 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 Wilmslow include the A34, A538 and A555. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
With around 26,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
