answer text <p>Where a local authority wishes to close a road permanently, it is required to make a permanent traffic regulation order. A permanent order gives legal effect to the closure and any associated restrictions. The procedure for advertising and consulting on traffic regulation orders is set out in <em>The</em> <em>Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996</em>.</p><p> </p><p>Before the order can come into force, the regulations require the authority to publish a “notice of proposals” concerning the intended closure in a newspaper circulating in the area. The authority is also required to &quot;take such other steps as it may consider appropriate for ensuring that adequate publicity about the order is given to persons likely to be affected by its provisions&quot;. There is then a 21-day period in which members of the public can object to the order.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
