Organising a street party

Closing a road

You’ll need to get permission from your local council to close a road. Some local councils will lend you signs and cones, or you can hire or buy signs. The Street Party site gives advice on road closures.

Make sure that the emergency services can still get down the street if they need to.

If your party is on a bus route, the bus company will want to know about it in advance.

Some councils will contact emergency services and transport providers for you, but others expect you to do it.
