The Scottish Borders Council (Peebles Fireworks Event) (Temporary Traffic Regulation) Order 2026 has been made under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended. The Order, which has a maximum duration of 18 months, will come into force at 13:00 on 7 November 2026 and is expected to remain in effect until 20:30. The Order is required in the interests of public safety due to (a) Kingsmeadows Road forming part of the fallout area for the fireworks event; and (b) additional traffic attending the fireworks event taking place in Victoria Park, Peebles.

The closure will come into effect only at such times as instructed by a police officer in uniform. The alternative route for eastbound traffic is via Kingsmeadows Road, Springhill Road, Glen Road and Glensax Road to the point of closure, for westbound traffic the reverse of the foregoing; and
