Local councils in the United Kingdom have issued temporary traffic regulation orders to facilitate various infrastructure projects.

In Surrey, the Surrey County Council has prohibited traffic on Harpers Road in Ash to allow Aspen Construction to conduct emergency repairs on a pumping station rising main. These works are expected to last approximately six weeks starting October 11, 2026.

Additionally, in Bath and North East Somerset, a temporary closure has been announced for Clutton Hill in Clutton. This restriction is required for Bristol Water to install a new water supply, with the order valid for up to six months starting October 28, 2026, though the physical works are anticipated to take only three days.
