Road Closures and Diversions
The Council is responsible for providing temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) to allow roads to be closed or to restrict traffic movement in order to permit temporary road works or to manage events on the public highway such as crane operations.
The Council requires a minimum notice of between six to eight weeks before the event to carry out the required legal procedures.
If a closure is required a diversion route may need to be signed to assist traffic to find a suitable way around the closure and to minimise potential disruption on the highway network. The cost of erecting, maintaining and removing diversion route signing is usually the responsibility of the contractor / company organising the works.
