To close your street, you should place wheelie bins marked with official ‘Road temporarily closed’ stickers at each closure point. Once the street is closed, you can then set up.
We’d like you to use our free ‘Cone’ and ‘Streets for People’ stickers as well, but these are optional. Please
contact us to arrange to pick your stickers up from Merrion House in Leeds before the event.
Volunteers
Each closure point must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. It helps if they wear high-vis jackets. They can explain why the road is closed and help people access the street safely if needed, but they do not have any legal powers to enforce the closure.
Vehicle access to the street
If someone needs access to the street, they should either drive at walking pace, escorted by a volunteer, or you may need to clear the street.
The safest approach will depend on the nature of your event, so you should think about how this will work when you are planning.
After the event
Please leave the street clean and tidy, and allow time to clear up. Once the closure time is over, move the wheelie-bins off the street.
Please encourage all people attending your street party to take their waste home with them and place in their green or black bin, recycling where possible.
