Signatory form

You will need the Signatory form (PDF 71.6KB opens in new window) to submit your application form.

We want to ensure most people are happy with this event, so if there are any objections you should let us know. We may be able to help you resolve these. It is worth remembering that not everyone may be able to participate so let everyone know what time the party will start and end (you may want to finish by 9:00pm to minimise noise).

What happens after my submission?

We will look at what you are proposing, process your application for road closure and let you know if there is anything else you need to consider.

Limitations

Redbridge Council will not be able to provide any assistance with barriers, road cones, power supplies or other practical matters.

Insurances

We recommend that you look at the Streets Alive website to assess whether you should take out Public Liability Insurance for your event. The Council does not require this as a matter of course but if you plan a large scale event, we may want to satisfy ourselves that you have insurance cover.

Costs

The Council will fund the costs of whatever legal Traffic Order may be required. Should an order be needed to cover the closure of your road then you will be sent a notice to fix to lamp posts to advise other local people. There will be no charge for this.

Event details

Is the road to be closed used regularly by through traffic? Does it provide access to another road which has a dead end that cannot be reached in any other way?(Required)

Yes

No

You will need to send us a plan showing the exact extent of the closure and an alternative route for traffic. Please note that if your road is on a bus route or a major traffic route (like Seven Kings High Road or Hermon Hill) then we will not be able to recommend that it is closed.

Will you guarantee access for emergency vehicles will be readily available at all times?(Required)

Yes

No

You will need to discuss this with us at the Council. In the interest of safety, you must be sure that roads are accessible for all emergency vehicles. We will consult with the Emergency Services on your behalf assuming we have no objection ourselves to your proposal.

Event details

How will people know the road has been closed off - have you thought barriers/diversion signs needed?(Required)

If yes, can you say what you will be doing? If no, you can speak to us or look at the Streets Alive website (www.streetparty.org.uk) which may be able to help you with advice.

How many people are attending the street party?(Required)

The number of people attending a community street party must not exceed 500 or it then becomes an event for which special council permission should be acquired. Please contact Safety Advisory Group on SAG@redbridge.gov.uk

Have the residents and businesses in your road agreed to this neighbourhood/community event?(Required)

Please provide evidence that this is the case. You need to upload the completed signatory form, located at the top of this form.
