If you are planning to hold an event you must get permission from Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and South Wales Police. An event may require a Temporary Road Closure for the safety of road users. A minimum of six weeks notice is required.

The event organiser is responsible for ensuring consultation is carried out with all interested parties and where the Authority has granted approval for a temporary road closure, the organiser will also need to consider the following points in addition to any specific conditions imposed in relation to a particular street:

• Pedestrian access to the street.
• Access for the Emergency Services
• Event safety
• Road closure and diversion signage
• Public liability insurance
• Vehicular access to private driveways, garages and off-street parking areas

The Parade Application form and Temporary Road Closure Costs are available to the right of this page.
