Road closures

Some roads in the city are not able to be closed. This could be because of problems with re-routing traffic, emergency access, or if your event is on a bus route. If a road closure is not possible, we recommend looking at using an alternative local road, or an off-street location such as a local park. 

If you need to get in touch, please phone 01273 292 503.
