Council reports high demand for Jubilee road closures

Release Date: Apr 05, 2012

Cotswold District Council has so far received 30 requests for road closures between 2nd and 5th June so that local residents can organise street parties to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee.

Jenny Bridges of CDC said: “Demand is much higher than we experienced during the run-up to the Royal Wedding last year and, on the strength of additional enquiries we have received, we expect that more requests will be coming through.”

She continued: “The clock is ticking now so I would urge anyone considering a street party to contact me as soon as possible so that I can do the necessary work involved. So far, people have heeded our advice and have tended to submit closure requests for locations away from major roads which should result in most applications being approved.”

There is no fee required but it does take a little time to make the necessary arrangements in line with the relevant legislation, which also takes into account safety issues.

To apply for a road closure in the Cotswolds email jenny.bridges@cotswold.gov.uk, call 01285 623206 or write to Jenny Bridges, Cotswold District Council, Trinity Road, Cirencester, GL7 1PX.
