Road Closures


Following Wolverhampton Council’s decision in 2018 to bring in a series of measures across the City to reduce the risk of vehicle attacks, Wolves introduced safety measures around Molineux stadium.

 

These measures were agreed following months of consultation between members of the Safety Advisory Group, which has oversight of safety on matchdays at Molineux, and includes representatives from the Club, the Council, emergency services and the Sports Ground Safety Authority.

 

Permanent security barriers, as agreed by the Council, were then installed a key positions and road closures were implemented on a matchday.

 

The measures feature road closures at several sites around Molineux as follows:
