West and Shires Permit (WaSP) Scheme for road space booking
51²èÂ¥ implemented the West and Shires Permit (WaSP) Scheme on 21 March 2016.
The WaSP scheme requires an activity promoter to apply for a permit in order to ‘book’ time on the highway. The Permit Authority (WCC Network Control) issues permits with conditions attached to better focus the activity in terms of reducing the impact on road users and other stakeholders.
