Street Parties: Road Closure Request for the 80th Anniversary of VE Day
The Council wants to make it easier for people to hold street parties to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. This guide provides advice on how to hold a small street party in your local community/street.
It includes an application and indemnity form to complete and return to EngineeringandTraffic@merthyr.gov.uk, so you can start organising your street party.
The council wants to support street parties, but you need to ensure applications are submitted urgently and before Thursday 10th April 2025.
If you would like to hold a small street party to celebrate VE Day, use the application form enclosed to notify the council of the planned event (street party) and apply for any road closure(s) that is required. In order to hold a street party on or within the highway you must seek permission and obtain approval from the Council to ensure you can legally and safely close the street to traffic.
