Applicants or the nominated person in charge of the event must:

• agree that the street party will not be publicised to the general public; will not attract people from a wide area; involve fewer than 150 people; only restrict use of a cul-de-sac or a road, which, by its nature, only exists to serve the properties alongside it; will only have minimal impact on through traffic and will not impact a bus route or bus services

If you do not accept our use of these contact details or require more information, please email trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk to discuss
• consult and engage with those likely to be affected by any traffic restriction and use the engagement document, detailing those parties contacted and the feedback given (both positive and negative).
• organise the event in such a way that access for pedestrians and emergency/essential vehicles can be maintained
• arrange for a minimum of one road closed sign to be placed at each point where the road(s) are to be closed; please note:
  • we do not automatically supply these signs as part of the authorisation of a road closure for a street party
  • we do not have sufficient numbers of them to provide these free of charge
  • signs can be purchased or hired from the Dorset Highways Sign Shop or from most reputable traffic management companies
• erect the public notice that Dorset Council will issue at each end of the closure at least seven days prior to the street party
• ensure all equipment, materials and rubbish associated with the event is cleared. the road returned to the condition found before the event and the road reopened by the time the licence expires (this cannot wait until the following morning)
• ensure noise from the event is kept to acceptable levels at all times and to a minimum after 9pm
