Powys County Council is inviting communities to apply for road closures, free of charge, to allow them to hold communal street parties in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations are happening between June 2 - 5 2022 with an extended bank holiday weekend providing the opportunities for communities to come together to celebrate this historic milestone.

During the four-day weekend, local people are being invited to run their own street parties and host a ‘Big Jubilee Lunch’ to reignite the great British community spirit and mark this momentous occasion.

Cabinet member for highways, Councillor Heulwen Hulme said: “Applying for a closure for a street party would normally attract an administration fee but the council has decided to waive the fee to help communities celebrate this important anniversary.’’
