Road closures

Reports via our website are processed during office hours only, and in the order they are received. If you think the problem is urgent, call us on 020 8379 1000 to report this instead.


We issue temporary traffic orders (TTO) to close roads for road works, street parties, events and play streets. You can view the details on our current temporary and permanent traffic management proposals.

Special event closures

We provide road closures for street parties, large public events and play streets. Roads will only be closed between 10am and 8pm. You must submit your application at least 6 weeks before the event.

We have prepared a handbook to guide you through the planning and delivery of small events which might require a road closure. For more information about planning outdoor community events in Enfield’s public spaces, visit Let's Talk Enfield.

Play street closures

You can apply for a road closure to organise a play street in your local community.

We fully support play streets, which can provide a low cost, valuable play opportunity for children and their community, allowing children to play outside and socialise.

Play streets are usually held on a monthly basis and the road closure traffic order allows up to 12 months of events to take place.

Full guidance and conditions can be found with the application form.

Applications are considered and processed twice a year. Your application must be received by 31 October for a play street commencing from 1 February the following year or by 30 April for a play street commencing from 1 August. No charge is made if you apply by these dates.

Applications can be made after this time, but if approved a charge will be made for processing the traffic order.

For more information on play streets, refer to London Play and Playing Out.
