Dozens of towns and villages across Cornwall have organised street parties and celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Cornwall Council has received 80 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 80 applications for 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.
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.”
So here is the final list of all 80 events which are taking place across Cornwall during the Platinum Jubilee weekend which require a road closure:
