What is happening?
THE CITY OF SUNDERLAND
(ROAD CLOSURES AT STADIUM OF LIGHT SUNDERLAND)
TEMPORARY TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER 2026
Sunderland City Council gives notice that on 13th May 2026 it made an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which is to temporarily prohibit all vehicular traffic from the following roads for their entire lengths on: Sheepfolds North, Sheepfolds Road, Easington Street, Easington Street North, Wilson Street North, Brooke Street, Stobart Street, Hay Street, Stadium Way, Vaux Brewery Way, Millennium Way, Keir Hardie Way, Stoney Lane, Cumberland Street, Queens Road, Southwick Road, Rosebery Street, Back North Bridge Street and Bridge Street. The Order is required because of the likelihood of danger to the public due to serious traffic congestion which is likely to occur in connection with an event being held at the Stadium of Light on 9th June 2026 namely the Take That Concert. The maximum duration of the closure under the Order will be 18 months, however it is estimated that the closures will only be in operation from 00:01 a.m. on 9th June 2026 until 05.00 a.m. on 10th June 2026. All vehicles will be prohibited from the above roads (except police, ambulance and fire and rescue services, vehicles used in connection with the said event and cleansing vehicles operated by Sunderland City Council) until such times and to such extent as may from time to time be indicated by the display of traffic signs. During the closure of the roads on the Sheepfolds Industrial Estate area, access will be maintained by a permit system for workers who operate from the Industrial Estate. Permit holders will be allowed entry and egress during normal opening hours. Patrons and visitors to the Sheepfolds area will be vetted by officers staffing the road closures, only allowing genuine visitors to the business premises and preventing concert goers from parking there. Residents access for Howard Street and Rosebery Street will be maintained at all times. Diversion routes will be signed on the highway network.
