Weather disruption
Winter weather is causing disruption to services in some parts of the county. Find out what services may be affected in your area.
Stage 1: Feasibility and informal consultation
During stage 1 we will:
- carry out an initial investigation to:
- confirm if the request is possible
- determine what effect the TRO might have on the highway network
- decide whether we need to revoke or amend and existing TROs
- consider if the proposal will simply move the problem elsewhere
- consult with Dorset Police, Town/Parish Council and local members
Subject to the above points, the process will proceed to Stage 2.
Stage 2: Formal consultation
During stage 2 we advertise the proposal in the local press and on the website. There is a 21 day period to object, support or comment.
We then consider all the comments. We will:
- consider formal objections through the appropriate council procedure
- re-advertise the TRO if changes are made following consultation
- sometimes decide not to proceed any further with the proposal
- continue to stage 3 if there are no objections or we decide to continue with the proposal as advertised
Stage 3: Making the order
During stage 3 we will:
- install all necessary signs and lines on site
- advertise made public notice
