Cornwall to stage over 40 events and street parties for Jubilee

Dozens of towns and villages across Cornwall have organised street parties and celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Cornwall Council has received more than 40 applications to close roads so that people can venture outside to celebrate Her Majesty’s milestone.

Whilst many celebrations for the occasion will not require road closures, those people wanting to hold traditional street parties have had to seek permission.

And with the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend stretching from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5, they all take place at different times over that period.

Cornwall Council said that it has processed 40 applications and has more in the pipeline with events including street parties, carnivals, parades and Big Lunches.

Normally applications have to be received 12 weeks before the event, but, to help organisers, the council extended that and applications were closed last week.

The council said: "There will be many celebrations that don’t require any road closures or Council involvement and we hope everyone has a great time.

"For street parties that require an application to close the road, there is usually a 12-week notice period.

"However, we extended the deadline for receiving applications up to last Friday, May 6. So far around 40 requests have been processed with more in the pipeline".
