Diamond Jubilee street parties

Are you hoping to organise a street party to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee over the bank holiday weekend of 2-5 June?

If you are, you’ll need to apply for a Temporary Road Closure Notice.

And to make sure as many people as possible are able to organise street parties, Wychavon District Council won’t be charging the normal £80 fee (£85 after 1 April 2012) for the Notice.

Jack Hegarty, Wychavon District Council’s Managing Director, said: “We’re keen that everyone in Wychavon gets the chance to celebrate this historic occasion.  We’re working to make sure that everyone who wants to hold a party can do so as easily as possible, with the minimum of bureaucracy involved.”

He added: “It does take time for a road closure to be processed, and we work with emergency services like the police and the fire service to organise them.  So to avoid disappointment, we urge you to get your application in as soon as possible.”

To apply for a Temporary Road Closure Notice go to www.wychavon.gov.uk/temproadclosures.
