Closing the road for a street party

Download application forms

You don't need insurance for street parties, and you will not need a licence if music is incidental and you are not selling anything. If you do want to sell anything, have a bar or provide entertainment, you will need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice.

You should only hold a street party during daylight hours.

To apply for a temporary road closure, you will need to:

• submit your application at least six weeks before you want to close the road
• submit the application form, condition clauses and an agreement form showing your neighbours are happy for you to close the road

Once we receive your application, we will:

• acknowledge your application within ten days of receiving it
   
• visit the road and confirm that:

• there is an alternative route around the road, so that the closure does not cause problems with traffic flow

• the closure will not be an inconvenience to other road users or nearby residents

• the closure will not cause a health and safety hazard
  

• notify you of our decision within ten days of visiting the location. 

If we reject your temporary road closure, you will not be able to close the road.
