Any works on the public highway involving either a road closure or traffic to be restricted will require a temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). A TRO is a legal document which allows roads to be temporarily closed or traffic restricted to enable works on the public highway to be safely carried out.
Before a road can be closed or the movement of traffic restricted, there will be a site meeting where the appropriate parties will discuss the method of working as well as mitigating measures and safety issues.
If you believe that a Traffic Regulation Order will be required for any works to be undertaken, please contact the council is good time to prepare the legal process.
You can also contact us for information about temporary road closures for events such as street parties.
- You can also find out more about road works in the borough by accessing the council's weekly roadworks bulletin from the main homepage.
