CBC has made a traffic order covering the whole area which means
that any charges that would normally incur for road closures have been
waived. The council also has lots of help and advice available to make
parties go with a swing.
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 1 May. Forms are available at
www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/jubilee. This site also contains advice and
information for residents planning a celebration and useful links to other
Diamond Jubilee websites.
A series of road shows have already taken place across the area for event
organisers to discuss their proposed events and get free advice and guidance
on organising and running them safely. For further information contact the
Central Bedfordshire Safety Advisory Group (SAG) who can review and offer
advice on safety arrangements, email SAG@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Organisers should be aware that if their event is to include a large number
of people or activities and entertainments that involve using equipment e.g.
bouncy castles that they may need public liability insurance. The council
can arrange this for a small fee. Email insurance@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
or call 0300 300 8129.
The Council is supporting The Big Jubilee Lunch on Sunday 3rd June which
aims to get as many people as possible across the UK to get together with
their neighbours for a few hours of community food and fun. For more
