Although councils are urged to be 'completely flexible'
There's only a week left until the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla and preparations across the country are well under way. The royal couple will be officially crowned in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, followed by two days of celebrations.
However, those hosting street gatherings could find themselves in trouble if they don't have permission, reports the Daily Express.It states on the Government website that the date and time of street parties need to be provided by planners, as well as if the party requires any road closures, if a bus route is affected or if any local properties or businesses may be affected.
This could include events on a driveway or parking area or private land. It could also be held at the end of a cul-de-sac of grass area that doesn't require any road closures. Luckily it is not thought local authorities will be enforcing these rules during the Coronation weekend, but if they do, organisers could face a fine or up to 51 weeks behind bars.
Mr Gove said: "Street parties are a great way to bring neighbours together to get to know each other better. There is lots of research to show that these informal, resident-led events have a positive and lasting impact on the communities that take part."
