You will need a legal order / notice

• to close any road for works
• to close a footpath (divorced footway/alleyway that is not adjacent to a carriageway) and requires a specific diversion route
• to temporarily reduce a speed limit for works/convoy working

Road closures for events can typically be made through the relevant local District Council through the Town Police Clauses Act.

How long does the application process take?

The legal lead-in time for this is 12 weeks and two legal orders will be produced as part of this process.

Fees

The cost of a planned closure/speed reduction/convoy working is £1,350 for a road/footpath/speed restriction. Closures for emergency works (endorsed) will be processed at a reduced rate due to the shorter legal process.

This is payable by credit or debit card/ purchase order.
