If you are planning to host a Street Party between the 3rd and 5th May Bank Holiday weekend to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day you will need to follow the same simple process for street parties however the deadline for these applications is the 4 April 2025.

Please ensure you start filling in your signatory form as early as possible to ensure you have the support of your fellow neighbours, you can find the link to the form here (PDF 0.158MB).

Once your application has been received and we have your signatory form we will process your application and consult internal teams and emergency services. We aim to have your approval by mid-April should your application be received by the deadline.
