Planning a Coronation street party? Don’t forget to apply for a road closure

Are you planning a street party to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III this May?

 If so, please ensure you apply for a temporary road closure to Pembrokeshire County Council’s traffic team by the end of March.

The Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort will take place on Saturday May 6^th, 2023.

Across the Coronation Weekend May 6^th, 7^th and 8^th there will be opportunities for people to come together to celebrate this historic occasion.

This includes the Coronation Big Lunch where neighbours and communities are invited to share food and fun together. 

As it did for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, the Council will be collating all successful temporary road closure applications from across the Coronation Weekend into one order

To allow time for processing, applications must be received by Friday March 31st.

In order to consider a road closure application, please provide:

·       Name of applicant

·       Contact details - email address and telephone number

·       Location of event – this would need to be residential street/close/estate and not a main arterial route

·       Date (specify May 6^th, 7^th or 8^th) and times of the proposed event

·       Plan - please provide a plan or sketch of where you wish to hold the event

All temporary road closure applications must be sent to Traffic@pembrokeshire.gov.uk by March 31st at the latest.

Requests will be assessed for suitability before permission is granted.

Information will then be provided on how to proceed and what measures will need to be put in place, such as signage.

Please note an application should only be submitted where the event is requested to take place on the highway.

Applicants are kindly asked to liaise with their local town or community council before submitting to ensure there is no duplication of applications.

It should also be noted that traffic management may be required where appropriate and there can be a cost associated with this.

Events ‘off road’ on grassed areas, village greens, play parks etc would need the landowners’ permission.
