A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal document we use to restrict traffic on our roads.
Examples of the types of restrictions include
UK law requires that these documents are in place before the council or police can enforce these restrictions.
First, a consultation takes place with the following groups
Next, a notice is placed in the local press. Notices are also displayed in the roads affected giving details on how people can comment or object.
Objections and comments are then considered through the appropriate council procedure before it is decided how the matter will be taken forward.
The TRO is then formally made and introduced. The entire process can take many months to complete. If objections result in the TRO being changed and re-advertised, the process could take longer.
Our current permanent TROs can be viewed in our online map. This can be accessed via the button on this page.
Please note, currently only parking and moving restrictions are available on our notices page.
We are currently in the process of adding speed limits. If you have enquiries about speed limits, please drop us an email.
If you'd like to comment on one of our live TRO consultations, you can submit these to us via post or email.
Please remember to make a note of the TRO reference number.
