Applications for street parties due 21 March.
If you are planning to organise a celebration for VE Day’s 80th anniversary, Buckinghamshire Council are requesting applications for road closures for those parties.
If you're planning a street party or any other event on the public highway you will need to apply for a temporary road closure. A temporary closure means that all vehicles are kept out but the road is still open to pedestrians.
A large-scale event will require more paperwork as part of the applications including, a completed risk assessment, event management plan, site plan and proof of public liability insurance.
You do not need to submit an application if you hold a Street Meet, which typically takes place on a driveway, parking area, or front garden as it’s private land or at the end of a cul-de-sac, wide pavement or grass verge.
If you'd like to request an application form to host an event on the public highway and for a temporary road closure, email events@buckinghamshire.gov.uk. Deadline for applying is Friday 21 March 2025.
Once you have submitted your application the Council aims to respond within 2 to 3 weeks. Apply as soon as possible in case of a conflict.
The Council have waived the fees for when an application to host an event on a public highway and/or a temporary road closure is requested for a VE Day 80 street party being held between Monday 5 May (Early May Bank Holiday) to Sunday 11 May 2025 inclusive.
