Major Events and Seasonal Restrictions

You cannot work on some roads during major events and at certain times of the year.

We need to minimise disruption during sensitive periods to reduce the impact on businesses and will not allow works on some streets. Contact Highway Control to help plan your works around business needs.

Winter restrictions are in place from the Friday before Remembrance Day until the end of the first full week in the New Year, but these restrictions do not apply to urgent works.

You must notify businesses and residents before works take place if they are likely to be affected. You must include:

  • Summary of the works
  • Expected duration
  • Likely impact such as noise and road closures
  • Contact details
