Thinking about a street party on 29th April? Road Closure deadline looming...


The deadline for applying for a road closure for a street party on 29 April in St Edmundsbury is Monday 14 March.

Road closures will be free in a private street, or a cul-de-sac, where there is no access to other roads and where neighbours and residents can gather easily and safely together.  

However a road closure for a through road is a more detailed process and will be more expensive. Organisers have to provide a traffic plan, detailed risk assessments, public liability insurance and to arrange for a contactor to sign diversion routes.

St Edmundsbury Borough Council is encouraging people to hold their parties away from through roads where possible. The Monday 14 March deadline allows sufficient time to check that individual locations are suitable and to carry out the legal process required for a road closure.
