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

There are four days of celebration planned for the UK from May 5^th to 8^th including military processions, flypast, concerts and a special service at Westminster Abbey.

Communities are also invited to come together to celebrate this historic occasion and the Council will waive road closure application fee. Costs associated with any required Traffic Management would be payable by applicants.

The Council will be collating all successful temporary road closure applications into one order

To allow time for processing, applications must be received by Monday, March 24th.

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

• Name of applicant
• Contact details - email address, full 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 5th, 6^th, 7^thor 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 Roadclosures@pembrokeshire.gov.uk by March 24th at the latest.

Requests will be assessed for suitability before permission is granted.

Information will then be provided on how to proceed, clear signage will be required for closures of the Public Highway. A traffic management company would be required to advise on what is necessary and to supply at the applicant’s expense.

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.

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