Temporary road closures for street parties

If you are planning to hold a street party and wish to use the public highway it will be necessary to officially close the road. To do this, you need to apply for a Temporary Road Closure Order.

There is no charge or insurance requirement if the road closure is for a street party.

A Temporary Road Closure Order is required for any event which may stop the flow of traffic on the public highway within the Horsham District. Please apply for your temporary road closure at least six weeks before the event.
