Road closure details

For safety reasons we would strongly advise you to introduce extra measures when re-opening the road by having a 10-15 minute “buffer zone” signalling the end of a play street session when you would ask people to move off the street – and the time when the stewards physically remove the barriers to allow cars in. i.e. this buffer zone will be the last 10-15 minutes before the play street session is over.

Please state the time that this buffer zone will start?(Required)

If you plan to close only a section of the road, where will the closure begin and end?(Required)
