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.

View or download the terms and conditions before you apply for a temporary traffic restriction.

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

• £575 for 1 to 5 days inclusive
• £575 for up to 21 days emergency road closure
• £1,950 for 6 days to 18 months inclusive

There may be additional fees, for example if we have to suspend pay and display parking bays. The fee charged will be equivalent to loss of revenue (determined by our parking services).

Please get in touch by email ttro@bcpcouncil.gov.uk, if you'd like to discuss the temporary traffic regulation order before you apply.

Temporary traffic restriction for street parties and community events

Small residential street parties

Our street parties and fetes page provides more information on how to apply for a residential street party.

Large community events and parades

To apply online you must submit both:

• an events application form and
• a temporary traffic restriction application

The routes available for parades are restricted in the town centre, and only the approved routes will be considered.

All conditions of the temporary traffic restriction application must be met. There is an event-specific fee associated with your application and you may also incur traffic management costs depending on your event.
