Third Party Consents
The Council’s policy is to make temporary
road closures only where the Police and Worcestershire Highways
Partnership Unit agree to the terms of the proposed order, and the
Police consider that an Order is necessary to facilitate policing
of the event.
You will also need to comply with any
conditions the Police attach to the Order up to and during your
event.
To minimise the risk of objections to your
proposals you should consult the Police and Highways Partnership
Unit and agree the details (including the time and date of the
event) of the proposed road closures before making your
application. To do so, please contact:
