Demonstrations and parades
Sometimes, in special circumstances, roads are closed to allow
sporting events or parades to take place.
When special events require the road to be closed off to general
traffic, a temporary road closure will be required which can only
be granted with the written agreement of the police. Such closures
require a Traffic Regulation Order. All
costs involved for both the closure and diversion signing will have
to be paid for by the event organiser. At least 6
weeks' notice is required - and for some events up to 3 months -
will be needed in order to organise them properly. Large events may
require even longer!
Usually, roads which are closed for sporting events can only be
closed once a year without the consent of the Secretary of
State.
Demonstrations cannot be dealt with by the Council. For these
events, the police must be contacted so that they can make the
appropriate arrangements.
