Gloucestershire County Council has decided to waive the cost of applying for a road closure for people who want to celebrate the Royal wedding.
In Gloucestershire, it normally costs £70 to apply to Gloucestershire County Council for a road closure.
But to ensure that people are not put off from hosting their own celebrations within their communities, the council has decided to waive this fee as a one-off gesture.
Although the fee has been dropped, Gloucestershire County Council still needs the normal 12 weeks notice if a road closure is requested in order to sort out signage and diversions for traffic.
While the council will endeavour to approve all applications, if a request comes in for a main road such as the A38 or A46, this may not be possible.
To apply for a road closure, email highways@gloucestershire.gov.uk, or call 08000 514 514 or write to Gloucestershire Highways, Imperial Gate Business Park, Corinium Avenue, Barnwood, Gloucester, GL4 3BW
Cllr Stan Waddingtonsaid that occasions like this are great for building community spirit so this gesture has been made to ensure everyone in Gloucestershire can get out and celebrate with their friends and neighbours if they want to
