“Street parties are a brilliant way for communities to get together and mark the Platinum Jubilee and Her Majesty the Queen’s incredible milestone.

“We want to see as many people as possible celebrate the Platinum Jubilee in Horsham District, and I’m pleased that we have been able to waive fees for licenses to help make this possible.”

Special events, including street parties, that involve closing a road require a legal order to be in place, which normally requires a fee to be paid to the council.

However, for the Platinum Jubilee weekend of celebrations fees will not apply and licenses can be obtained free of charge.

The Platinum Jubilee will mark the 70th anniversary of the Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. She is the first UK monarch to celebrate this milestone.

Events will take place throughout the year and a four-day Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend will take place from Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5.

The council has said anyone looking to apply should do so by April 15.
