THE BOROUGH OF LUTON
(VARIOUS ROADS)
(TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURES) (No.7) 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 5th May 2026 for a period of 18 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:
West Way from its junction with Rochester Avenue to its junction with Blackthorn Drive. Diversion route via Blackthorn Drive, Chesford Road. Anticipated date and times of closure 5th May 2026 to 5th May 2026, 8am to 6pm.
Conway Road from its junction with Dunstable Road to its junction with Westborne Road. Diversion route via Dunstable Road, Birch Link, Leagrave Road, Selbourne Road. Alternatively, via Dunstable Road, Mansfield Road, Selbourne Road. Anticipated date and times of closure 11th May 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 BT Openreach 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.
