Guidance

Temporary Traffic Restrictions such as road closures, short term parking restrictions and reduced speed limits are used to ensure that work on or adjacent to the public road can be undertaken safely.

Temporary Traffic Restrictions can also be used to ensure the safe holding of or operation of events on or adjacent to the public road.

It is the responsibility of the person promoting the works or holding the special event to ensure that all their necessary permissions are in place prior to commencing work on site/prior to the event proceeding, and that once approved that the restrictions, including any diversion route are signed safely and appropriately.

The promotor is also fully responsible for publicising their planned works or event to local businesses, residents, medical centres, schools, etc.

Costs apply – these comprise a set fee for processing the application and advertising costs for Orders which require publication in the local press.

The Council require

A minimum of 3 months notice to process a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for major works and special events that require a road closure.
A minimum of 2 months to process a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order or Notice that do not require a road closure.
Emergency Notices are processed as soon as is reasonably practicable within normal working hours.

Prior to completing your application

Please read the following guidance:

We cannot process applications for restrictions on private roads or on trunk roads.
