Neighbours and community groups looking to hold street parties in June to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee are reminded that the clock is ticking, and to check whether they may need a temporary road closure.

The Council requires 6 weeks to process road closure applications for street parties on no-through roads, and 12 weeks for closures for special events. This means that time is running out for planned celebrations in early June.

There is no charge to apply, and full details can be found here: www.mendip.gov.uk/article/10689/Her-Majesty-The-Queen-s-Platinum-Jubilee.
