TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURES FOR PUBLIC EVENTS
A Temporary Road Closure Order is needed for any event which may stop the flow of traffic on the Public Highway within the Horsham District, for example carnivals, parades, street parties etc. The orders are made by the District Council following consultation with the County Council, the Police and the local bus companies.
To make an application you will need to provide the following information:
- the name of the organisation and a contact number
- the purpose of the event
- the date of the event
- a list of the roads which you wish to close
- the times that it is proposed to close each of the roads
- a marked street plan
Applications need to be submitted at least six weeks in advance of the event or sooner if possible. There is an administrative charge of £25 per application and organisers are liable to meet the cost of two advertisements that are put in the local newspaper. Organisations making application should also have public liability insurance to the sum of £10 million.
Please note that temporary road closures in respect of highway works etc. are dealt with directly by the West Sussex County Council.
Applications should be addressed to:
