Free street party gift from council

ORGANISING a Diamond Jubilee celebration has been made even easier thanks to Central Bedfordshire Council.

The council have waived any charges that would normally be incurred for road closures to encourage more people to organise street parties.

Street party organisers should inform the council as soon as possible which roads they would like closed and for how long by completing an application form and returning it before May.

Forms are available at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/jubilee.
