Road closures
Sometimes works on the highway, large deliveries or special events require a road to be closed temporarily to general traffic. Such closures or restrictions require a traffic regulation order issued by the highway authority.
How to apply
The following links provide guidance on road closures, the costs involved and the forms required to apply.

In special circumstances roads can be closed to allow sporting events or parades to take place.
When special events require the road to be closed off to general traffic a temporary road closure will be required which can only be granted with the written agreement of the police. Such closures require a traffic regulation order. All costs involved for both the closure and diversion signing will have to be borne by the event organiser. At least eight weeks notice is required and for some events up to three months will be needed in order to organise them properly. Large events may require even longer!
Usually roads which are closed for sporting events can only be closed once a year without the consent of The Secretary of State
Demonstrations cannot be dealt with by the Council and for these events the police must be contacted so that they can make the appropriate arrangements.
