Demonstrations and parades |
|
Sometimes, in special circumstances roads are 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 six 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.
For further information and enquiries, please contact the
traffic management
team. | |
