Stroud District Council is waiving the fee for road closures for Coronation street parties, big lunches and other community events. You will still need to make an application for a temporary road closure as detailed below and we will do a consultation. Road closure applications for Coronation events must be submitted to Stroud District Council by 24th March 2023.

Road closures for events
The cost for arranging a road closure for an event, such as a street party, fete or procession, is £85, payment to be made by BACS, details are on the guidance notes.
Prior to submitting an application you should talk to your neighbours and also any local businesses that will be directly impacted by your proposed road closure.
You will then need to complete an application form and provide a plan. When we have this information we will carry out consultations with interested parties which include the Police, Ambulance, Fire, County Council, Parish Council and District Councillors. Once everyone has been consulted and there are no adverse comments or problems we can make the Order. This will be sent to you for you to display at either end of the road you propose to close.
The Council is unable to supply road signage or barriers to facilitate the closure of the road and we suggest that you contact the local police and highway authority for advice on this matter.

Temporary road closure applications will be kept for no longer than 6 years and anonymised historic road closure decisions are available to view on our Officer Decisions Register.
