Neighbours want to close road for party - can I still drive on it?

[unwashed potato!]

Just found out from partner that neighbours want to close our road for the jubilee celebrations. Not real issue, but I'm at the end of a long cul de sac, with not only a higher than average priced vehicle that I wouldn't want to leave so far away on a busy/over parked road that I assume will include all their vehicles too, but I also have plans to go kayaking, biking, building work over this 4 day weekend so do need access.

Can I still drive down the road? I don't know their intentions yet, but during the first lock down they had a party with tables etc all out in the street so it'll put me in an awkward position to be driving up and down.

I don't know the dates yet but I'm under the impression this is for the 4 days that the road is closed.

Carmageddon baby!

Going to be lots of people in the same situation but really it comes down to what they have planned, how much of a nuisance you'll cause by driving through and if you care about upsetting your neighbours.

It will only for a few hours surely?

 

[Surveyor]

If they've applied to the council and have a Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order then use of vehicles is prohibited except in limited circumstances, emergency vehicles for example.

Your council may have a list on their website of which roads are officially closed on which dates.

If so then great but I've no idea as surely drinks etc would go into the night

If they haven't, then you can crack on.

Why would the road be closed for 4 days, Karen?

Balls, just seen @Conscript beat me to it

Why would they give 2 extra days for bank holiday giving us a 4 day weekend!

Surely so we can all party and celebrate

I was hoping someone would doubt it so that I can provide photos as evidence

Higher than average priced vehicle

Hey, a cul de sac near me is closing their road for a Jubilee party. Maybe we are neighbours

But I would like to declare that I only have lower than average priced vehicles.

 

[Diddums]

Higher than average priced vehicle

Good innit

 

[Dis86]

Good innit

I mean don't get me wrong, a lot of us on here care about our cars but either leave the higher than average priced vehicle on the drive whilst your neighbours have a shindig or find somewhere local and just let them have a couple of days of fun
