Decorating the street for your party can be a great way of bringing the VE 80th Anniversary theme together. However you choose to decorate, make sure you involve your neighbours in any decisions which may affect their properties, including:
- access on the pavement
- to their gardens
- to their doorways
Points to remember:
- many of the borough’s lampposts are historic and should not be used to hang decorations
- your decorations should not be too low-hanging: they must be higher than 8ft from the ground
- remember to weigh balloons down and never release them into the sky, as this can have negative consequences for nature and wildlife
After your street party, all decorations must be completely removed before reopening the road after your street party.
