Temporary Street Closures
Here you will be able to access information on temporary
street closures, an application form to apply for a Temporary
Street Closure Order and other general information.
Section 21 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 empowers
local authorities to close streets to prevent obstruction "in all
times of public procession, rejoicing or illuminations, and in any
case when the streets are thronged or liable to be obstructed".

Closures 
. Here
you can access information on how applications for street closures
are processed and find out all the information event organisers
need to be aware of when applying for a Temporary Street Closure
Order.
To request a street closure for a special event, an application
form needs to be completed. If you would like to print out an
application
form for a
temporary street closure please use the provided link.
All requests for temporary street closures should be submitted
early in the event planning process and no later than 2 months
before the proposed event. However, events which require many
months of planning will obviously require applications to be
submitted much earlier.
Please note that applications may be rejected if they are not
complete and/or are received less than 2 months before the proposed
event.
It is strongly recommended that event organisers do the
following:
- ensure risk assessments are undertaken
- take out suitable public liability cover
- read and follow the Home Office Guidelines - The Good Practice Safety
Guide for
small and sporting events taking place on the highway, roads and
public places.
It is advisable to contact Police and inform them of your
intended event before an application is submitted to Bromsgrove
District Council, as this can often speed up the process.
Contact details can be found in the information document on
Temporary Street
Closures .
Please note that police officers will not be available to
oversee any aspect of the temporary street closure.
For further information please read the information document or
contact Bromsgrove District Council Customer Services.
