Events affecting the highway
Highways welcomes and encourages high quality events throughout the year from large festivals to small community events, find out more here.
Whom do we contact to close the road?
In Worcestershire, the application to close a road should be through your local District Council using their Town and Police Clauses Act 1847 powers. To find out who your local council is visit the Government webpage at Apply to Hold a Street Event and put in your postcode.
In all other circumstances where a road closure is not required but the event will affect the highway, organisers should apply to the highways department by contacting us with all relevant information e.g., time, date, map of route or location (KML file if possible*), etc.
