- £161 for 6 months

How long it takes
It takes at least one week to process a footway closure application after we’ve received it.
We’ll send you a confirmation email when permission has been granted.
Providing a different walkway
There needs to be another walkway for people to use while the footway is closed. This is usually a temporary walkway along the side of the closed footway.
Contact traffic@bristol.gov.uk if you need help with that.
