Road closures for community events and commercial events
For community and commercial events requiring a road closure, a traffic management order will be required and traffic management measures will need to be provided.
Costs
The council will charge the organiser £2,080 for this service, for which the council will:
- provide advice on the traffic management required
- liaise with the emergency services, TfL and London Buses
- visit site with organiser (if necessary)
- create and advertise the traffic management order for the event
The organiser will also incur all costs associated with the provision of traffic management arrangements for the road closure (including hiring of signage, barriers and staffing).
In some cases the organiser may wish the council to arrange and carry out the traffic management for the event. In this case the council will charge the organiser £3,000 plus the traffic management costs. These costs are payable before the event starts.
If the traffic management requirements are to be outsourced to a contractor all plans and designs must be submitted along with a risk assessment and method statement, before consent of the event can be given.
Licensing
You will need a Temporary Event Notice which is a type of temporary licence and costs £21 if you want to:
- sell alcohol or intend to provide entertainment to the wider public, or
- charge money for your event
For more information on licensing issues go to our licensing pages or contact the Licensing Team by emailing licensing@haringey.gov.uk or call 020 8489 1335
Timescale
As there is a legal and consultative process to be undertaken, at least three month's notice before the closure is required, however please note that approval is subject to road works programmed in the borough.
In most cases a meeting will have to take place between the council and the event organiser.
