Closing roads and streets

Apply to us for permission to close a road for an event such as a street party or carnival.

We can make a road closure order for ‘rolling-road’ events such as parades, carnivals and processions.

We can also make an order for more ‘static' events, including Christmas light switch-ons and street parties.

The Government has created a guide that provides practical advice for anyone looking to hold a street party. You can find that on its Your guide to organising a street party page.

We also deal with permanent road closures when these are felt to be necessary or desirable.
