Application for a Temporary Road Closure or
Traffic Restriction
(Temporary Traffic Regulation Order)
Guidance notes and conditions
This form applies for permission to close a highway, or impose traffic restrictions upon a highway,
for the purposes of roadworks or for staging a special event (e.g. a parade or race).
For roadworks or construction – you must ensure that a road closure is absolutely necessary. Can
temporary traffic signals or an alternative construction method be used? Applications for Temporary
Traffic Regulation Orders (TTRO’s) will only be approved if there is no other feasible way of
undertaking the work. Temporary road closures will not be approved solely so that site
accommodation can be located, or materials stored, on the highway.
ONLY THE POLICE OR THE COUNCIL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CLOSE A ROAD
Notice Periods
Closing a road takes time. We need to consult and inform people and advertise the closure
following a timescale set out by law. For this reason we must insist on minimum notice periods.
For planned works affecting the highway
The start date must be at least SIX WEEKS from the date that the application form is submitted to
the Council. You must have agreed the proposed dates with Bolton Council’s Streetworks team
and in most cases obtained a permit number, before applying for the Temporary Closure order.
For special events
The start date must be at least TEN WEEKS from the date that the application form is submitted
to the Council.
Emergency closures
If something has happened that is likely to cause a danger to persons or property on or adjacent
to the public highway and the road needs to be closed please contact us immediately at
highways@bolton.gov.uk or telephone 01204 336677.
2020/2021 PRICES
THIS FORM IS ONLY VALID UNTIL 31 MARCH 2021
Filling in the Application Form
The
location and extent of the proposed temporary road closure or restriction needs to be
described as clearly as possible. An understandable plan showing the area of the closure should
be included with the application form, especially if the exact extent of the Temporary Order cannot
be accurately described in words.
You will need to specify if the Temporary Order will affect vehicles only; vehicles and pedestrians
or pedestrians only. Quite often pedestrian access can be maintained when undertaking works on
the highway, but for works such as demolition, it is normally necessary to prevent access to both
vehicles and pedestrians to ensure safety.
A brief description of the works or event needs to be given as the reason for the temporary traffic
order.
The duration should be given in days (for special events - maximum three days) and any specific
hours should also be identified (example, if work is only overnight). The Streetworks Co-ordinator
will be able to give advice about restrictions on events in the town centre and affecting main routes
(01204 336624).
You must complete the application form in full, print and sign it, then either email a scanned copy
(pdf) to highways@bolton.gov.uk or post to the address shown.
Traffic Management Plan
It is your responsibility to supply a
Traffic Management Plan, (showing the schedule, drawings,
details of all traffic signs needed to indicate the temporary road closure and alternative/diversion
routes) as well as supply any traffic cones, barriers etc and arrange for the design, manufacture
and installation of all required signs.
PLEASE NOTE
The TM plan you provide will be published on our website and distributed to interested parties
(emergency services, postal service, bus companies etc). You should redact any information
from the plans you do not wish to enter the public domain.
You should provide as much information as possible on how traffic will be managed. Examples of
what this might include are:
Type of traffic cont
rol
Scale Maps
showing site extents
Diversion routes for vehicles and/ or pedestrians showing locations of signs (e.g. Dive
rsion
Signs or R
oad Closed Si
gns)
For Speci
al Events please provide additional information, where applicable, on:
Anticipated visitor nu
mbers
Car p
arking proposals (Including provisions for
disabled drivers)
Applications
with no (or with an inadequate) traffic management plan will be rejected.
Consulting affected people
It is your responsibility to undertake sufficient consultation with affected properties/businesses and
notify them a week in advance of any road closure. Alternate access arrangements with any affected
parties should be arranged.
Town centre applications
If the temporary closure affects the use of any Pay & Display parking bays you must also reimburse
Bolton Council for costs associated with suspending the bays. You must contact Parking Services
on 01204 336352 as soon as you know that any bays will be affected. The cost of suspending any
other parking or loading facilities (permit parking, loading bays, etc) will also need reimbursing.
Costs
The cost for arranging a temporary traffic order differ depending on whether it is for works affecting
the highway, or a special event. This is due to the different acts of parliament covering the two types
of closures, each requiring different amounts of administration and advertising.
For planned works affecting the highway - the cos
t is £ 1,584.00
For a special event on the highway - the cost is £ 1,053.00
For an emergency closure notice - the cost is £ 502.00
These prices are valid until 31 March 2021
