Street scene: Ealing will be in a party mood
EALING residents who are planning to hold a street party for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this summer are being urged to submit their applications by April 30.
In most cases, the council will waive the fee, but this will depend on the type and size of the party.
There will also be no charge by the highways department, which oversees traffic management.
Where larger parties or public events are planning to have live music or sell alcohol, additional applications for an entertainments licence are required.
Cllr Julian Bell, leader of the council, said: “So many people across the borough enjoyed the street parties, lunches and events last year, to celebrate the royal wedding, that we are expecting quite a few to hold events again this year.
“The long weekend is a great opportunity for neighbours, friends and families to come together and enjoy being part of the community, while helping Her Majesty celebrate 60 years as Queen.”
For advice and applications on holding street parties, contact Ealing Council’s event team on 020 8825 6064 or email events@ealing.gov.uk.
