    Fees for street parties in the Harrogate district to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III will be waived.

    North Yorkshire County Council today confirmed the move, which will encourage celebrations to mark the coronation of the first monarch in 70 years.

    The council is waiving the £300 standard street closure fee on residential streets from Saturday, May 6, to Monday, May 8.

    Charles III's coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey in London, where he will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort.

    Cllr Keane Duncan, executive councillor of highways at the council, said:

    “The coronation of King Charles III will be a momentous event in history, and we recognise that communities across North Yorkshire will want to plan their own celebrations.
    “Street parties are always a popular way for people to get together, whether that’s for games or a royal lunch. By waiving the fees, we hope many residents will apply to ensure they have a safe open space to use.”


    Anybody wishing to host a street party must apply before March 10. For more information on how to apply, visit the county council website here.
