Havering is preparing for VE Day celebrations this May, marking the 80th anniversary with over 50 road closures for community street parties. The borough's council encouraged residents to apply for street parties, emphasizing that road closure requests would be refused if the roads were part of a bus route or if roadworks were scheduled. Organizers must appoint a marshal for managing entry points and are to ensure the closures are considerate of residents unable to join in. Closure timings are 10am to 8pm, allowing emergency vehicle access throughout the festivities.
More than 50 roads in Havering are closed for VE Day street parties in May to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Residents were encouraged by the council to apply for street parties, but requests were denied if a road was on a bus route.
Event organisers must have a designated marshal for road closures and must ensure they are respectful to local residents who cannot attend.
The road closures will only be in place between 10am and 8pm, allowing access for emergency service vehicles.
