You can apply to make a temporary change to your road. This could be for emergency works or for an event.

Before you start...

You'll need the following documents:

You must make coordination checks to ensure your closure and diversion won't affect other works.

If you need to close a right of way, please apply to make a temporary change to a right of way instead.

You can't start any works until you have a valid traffic regulation order and permit.

Please note, unless stated on your application, road closures to restrict movement will only apply to vehicles. Pedestrian and cycle access must be maintained.
