Advice on street parties
If your event is a small neighbourhood gathering on MDC land (not on the highway) for example a street party for less than 100 people with no food vendors or bouncy castles or other high risk entertainment, all we need from you is completion of the online booking form (head to section 11). Simply add details about the when, where and what's happening. For the site plan you can just upload a photo of the event space. This is so we are aware where and when the gathering is taking place so can plan things like street cleansing and bin collections accordingly, and can help to promote it if it's open to the general public. We will be able to advise if other paperwork or support is required on receipt of this booking form and take a risk-based approach.
If it’s bigger than that or involves elements of higher risk, check out the other sections on this webpage to find out what paperwork might be required (see section 3).
If you require a road to be closed, you will need to let Nottinghamshire County Council know and make an application by Friday 14 April, giving at least one months’ notice. NCC has wavered the cost of closing a road especially for the Coronation celebrations but your event will still need to be approved by them, in partnership with Via, first as some roads cannot be closed due to access requirements. Find out more about organising an event that is on or affects public roads or pavements and apply for the closure on the Nottinghamshire County Council website (opens in new window).
There’s also some useful information about organising a party for your neighbours on the GOV.UK website (opens in new window). It tells you the differences between a street party and a public event and gives advice on how to organise one safely.
