3) Temporary Road Closures for Street Parties

Central government has published guidance including tips, advice and support on organising a street party.

The advice is for private street parties that groups of residents arrange and which need no insurance or formal risk-assessment. It covers how to arrange a temporary road closure and some street party myths and facts.
