Current Rights of Way Restrictions
The first list describes area(s) where use of a public right of way is affected. This may be due to housing development or authorised highways works.
The second list describes where the specific use of a Public Byway is affected. This is due to permanent vehicle prohibitions being placed on them.
Traffic Regulations Orders (TROs)
Authorised Works
There are two areas with authorised closures and diversions in place:
Hartlepool Public Footpath No.31 Britmag/Steetley site, Old Cemetery Road
Persimmon Housing (Teesside) UK development is being built on the old Steetley site and a temporary closure and diversion has been put in place so that there is still a route for the public to use. This TRO is placed between Brus Tunnel and the Jewish Cemetery at Old Cemetery Road.
Hartlepool Public Footpath No.4, Cairnston Road, Naisberry Estate
Some new flood defence and screening construction works are being carried out by the Council to the rear of the houses on the western side of Naisberry estate. The section of this public footpath, between the adjoining public footpath and Cairnston Road, will be closed until Xmas time. The TRO diversion between the adjoining footpath and Reedston Road is in place for the duration of the temporary closure.
