Under the street works permit scheme any person or company that wants to carry out works on the highway must apply for a permit.
We can accept or refuse a permit and decide how and when the works are carried out.
The permits means that we have effective control of roadworks.
They also help us to:
- ensure all works are planned to minimise disruption
- improve journey times for road users
- reduce traffic caused by roadworks
- improve the information available on works, such as advanced warning and duration times
- improve safety for those carrying out the works
- reduce road damage.
How to apply for a permit

Parking bay suspensions
If you need to suspend parking bays on the highway or in a public car park, you'll need to apply for a parking bay suspension.
Temporary road closures
If you need to close a road to complete works on the highway, you'll need to apply for a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO).
