(VARIOUS ROADS)
(TEMPORARY FOOTPATH CLOSURES) ORDER 2026

NOTICE is hereby given that Luton Borough Council, the Highway Authority for the said Borough, intends to make the above Order under the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended).

The Order will come into operation on 26th January 2026 for a period of 6 months or when the proposed works have been completed, whichever is the earlier. Specific dates and times will be signed locally. The Order will therefore be in operation during such date and time and to such extent as indicated by traffic signs, barriers or cones.

The effect of the Order will allow the Council to close to vehicular traffic the following roads and lengths of roads:
Turnpike Drive Footpaths from a point outside no. 290 to a point outside no. 276. Diversion route via Turnpike Drive. Anticipated date and times of closure 26th January 2026, 8am to 6pm.
Barton Road Footpath from a point outside 238 Barton Road to a point outside 337 Turnpike Drive. Diversion route via Turnpike Drive, Barton Road. Anticipated date and times of closure 26th January 2026, 8am to 6pm.

The Order is intended to create a window for the works to be done and it is anticipated that the works will be completed over a period as described above. The purpose of the Order is to enable Volker Highways to carry out maintenance works. For the period of the closure, the Order will also provide for “No Waiting and No Loading” restrictions to apply within the roads and lengths of roads closed for said works. Any vehicle deemed to be in contravention of the restrictions will be issued with a penalty charge notice and removed. This will be in force when traffic signs, barriers or cones are displayed. Access will be maintained as best as possible to properties where this may be done safely whilst such works are being carried out and diversions for traffic where available will be marked by signs.
