VE Day Street Party - Whitmore Avenue
NO. 009
Whereas application has been made to the Borough Council of Thurrock for the temporary closure of the road described below, on the occasion of the Whitmore Avenue VE Day Street Party on Thursday 8th May 2025 as the roads are likely to be thronged or liable to be obstructed.
And whereas the said Borough Council is satisfied that the closure of the highways so described is necessary as the ordinary day to day use of the highway is likely to be obstructed or dislocated by a substantial number of persons.
And whereas the Police have raised no objection to the making of this Order provided that appropriate arrangements are made to exclude vehicles from the roads affected by this Order other than those vehicles associated with the event and that suitable closure notices are displayed.

- 1. Whitmore Avenue between its junctions with Blackshots Lane and Elmway shall be temporarily closed in order to facilitate the VE Day Street Party.
2. The Order will come into force on Thursday 8th May 2025 between the hours of 09:00 and 17:00.
