  • Notice from council for temporary parking prohibition

    We had a general notice posted on lampposts a while ago that the road would be resurfaced sometime between 19th August 2024 and 14th October 2024. Today the council workers have put up signs of 2 varieties:

    1. Advanced Warning Road Closed Here Week Commencing 12/09/2024 For Surface Dressing Weather Dependent
    2. No Parking 7.00am - 6.00pm SEPTEMBER 13th

    Signs of variety #1 went up this morning.
    Signs of variety #2 went up at around 4pm this afternoon.

    Today is of course the 12th and so the advanced notice isn't and it seems a bit unfair to give less than 24 hours notice of a parking prohibition.

    What notice periods are the council required to give for the above, if any?
    And which laws, regulations, etc can they be found in?

    TIA

    I've found the notice the council have made under section 14 of the road traffic regulation act 1984. It says "Temporary Road Closure [...] For a period of no more than 5 individual days between 19th August 2024 to 14th October 2024.

    Does a road closure implicitly include parking prohibition? To my lay brain closing the road means you can't travel on it but cars already parked there would be okay.

      How are they going to resurface the road when there are parked cars?

        Most people would be ecstatic that their potholes are going to be filled. I simply don't undertsand the issue here.
