out a reminder to residents who are planning to hold a street party or similar event that the deadline to apply for a road closure is fast approaching.

Groups of neighbours or community organisations are being encouraged to organise a celebratory event or gathering over the bank holiday weekend (Saturday 6 to Monday 8 May), provided the necessary permissions are in place, with applications to close a road or street to be submitted to WDC by Friday March 24.

Councillor Liam Bartlett, WDC’s portfolio holder for arts and economy said: “This moment in our history is worthy of a fitting celebration, so it would be great to see residents coming together to share this joyful occasion.”
