The legal requirements for Public Notices vary according to the legislation in question.

We are publishing these Notices on our website as a service to the public, but the Notices may be published elsewhere in order to comply with these statutory requirements.

Highways, roads and traffic notices

Traffic management orders are important messages that tell you about changes to the roads in your area. The orders provide information about temporary or permanent changes in road layout, design, closures and diversions.

    New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 - NRSWA Section 58

    NRSWA Section 58 is a rule that helps keep our roads in good condition. When a road is newly resurfaced or fixed, this rule stops other people from digging it up again for a few years. This way, the road stays smooth and safe for everyone to use.

    Planning notices

    Planning notices tell you about new building plans or changes to buildings in your area. By law we must let everyone know about these plans before deciding if they can happen. Planning notices give you a chance to know what's being planned and give you opportunity to share your thoughts. 

    Press list

    We advertise all our planning notices in the local press and the start of the public consultation period from that date.
