Neighbours and community groups looking to hold street parties in May to celebrate the King’s Coronation should check whether they may need a temporary road closure.
The Council requires six weeks to process road closure applications for street parties on no-through roads, and twelve weeks for closures for special events. This means that time is running out for planned celebrations in early May.
There is no charge to apply, and full details can be found here: King’s Coronation (sedgemoor.gov.uk)
The Coronation will see communities across the UK and the Commonwealth come together to celebrate this historic occasion. The Coronation programme will include the procession and service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May, the ‘Coronation Big Lunch’ across the country on Sunday 7th May (with a concert taking place in Windsor in the evening), and ‘The Big Help Out’ community activity on the bank holiday, Monday 8th May.
