For works to be carried out safely on or near the highway you may require a road or footpath closure, parking restriction or similar. If so, you must apply for a temporary traffic regulation order.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions before you apply for a temporary traffic restriction.

Fees

The fees depend on the nature of the restriction and the time required. The current fees are:

• £600 for 1 to 5 days inclusive
• £600 for up to 21 days emergency road closure
• £2,050 for 6 days to 18 months inclusive

There may be additional fees, for example if we have to suspend payment parking bays. The fee charged will be equivalent to loss of revenue which is determined by our parking team.

When applying, you must give a minumum of:

• 10 weeks notice for new applications with a duration of 6 days to 18 months
