You can apply for a temporary road closure if you are holding a street party or special event and want to close the road.
The application process and requirements are different for street parties and for special events.
Your event is a street party if:
-
it's only for neighbours and residents
-
you only publicise it to residents
-
it's taking place in a quiet residential street
-
you are organising it yourself
Your event is a special event if:
-
it's a parade, procession or social gathering
-
anyone can attend
-
you widely publicise it, such as in the newspaper or on social media
-
a professional organiser is arranging it
Whichever application you make, you need to apply at least 10 weeks before your event.
