Leicestershire County Council is offering free road closure applications for street parties being held to mark the Coronation of His Majesty the King later this year.
The applications for temporary traffic orders, which involve road closures if events are being held on the highway, usually cost in the region of £400 - £650.
The Coronation will take place on Saturday, 6th May and, across the weekend, including Monday, 8th May.
On Sunday, 7th May 2023, the Coronation Big Lunch, is taking place and people across the country are invited to be together to celebrate the Coronation.
Councillor Nick Rushton, the leader of Leicestershire County Council, said: "The Coronation of His Majesty the King will be an historic event for the country - and the county of Leicestershire. We want to help people to celebrate and encourage communities to come together to mark this special occasion, so we’ll be waiving road closure fees.
"However, if individuals or communities are planning an event, such as a street party, you will need to let us know in good time, so that the necessary arrangements can be put in place."
The deadline for applications is Friday the 31st March 2023.
The application form, is available at www.leicestershire.gov.uk/plan-an-event or by e-mailing eventsnetworkmanagement@leics.gov.uk(link sends email)
