Road closures for events

Fees and things to note

We are only providing the legal notice to facilitate a road closure. You should have prior consultation with any parties that may be affected by the closure, i.e. businesses, bus companies using the route, etc., together with ensuring all frontages to the closure have been informed.

We will notify the highways team at Staffordshire County Council of the event who will make every effort to protect the route from any proposed works. They require you to:

  • make suitable arrangements for the closure, either through the use of appropriately trained personnel or a Traffic Management company
  • that appropriate risk assessments and liability insurance cover is in place
  • that the correct signs and barriers are in use
  • that the police are aware of the event and the closure.

The application for a temporary road closure must be submitted at least 5 weeks prior to the event. If sufficient notice is not given then we won’t have time to prepare the formal Road Closure Order for your event.

Fees

A fee of £33 is payable at the end of the application.
