KCC Waives fees for Coronation Street Parties

Don't forget the deadline for applications to host a street party for the Coronation of King Charles III is this Friday - 3rd March 2023.

Kent County Council waives fees for coronation street parties

Residents who want to arrange a street party to celebrate the King’s coronation will not have to pay a road closure application fee.

As it did with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Kent County Council (KCC) is inviting residents to express an interest in closing a road by completing an online form before the deadline of 3rd March 2023.

Once an application is received, officers make sure the route is safe and the event will comply with the terms and conditions before confirming it can go ahead.

To be eligible for the fee waiver, the road closure must be planned for up to one day between 6th and 8th May and must be for the sole purpose of holding a celebration street party in a residential area.

Parties will be approved for residential roads where only resident traffic would be impacted. KCC will not be able to approve parties on main roads, bus routes or any road that needs to be used to access shops or businesses.

Before applying for a closure, applicants must speak to residents in the area to make sure they have no objections, ensure signs are clearly visible for all road users and make sure all rubbish is cleared before the road is reopened.

Successful sites will be provided with road closure signs.
