Applications are open until Monday 11 April for people wanting to apply for a grant for a street party, or nominate a torchbearer, for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.

You are asked to nominate local people who have done something extraordinary to take part in the parade of light on 2 June, as one of 70 Jubilee torch bearers.

Meanwhile, there’s still time to apply for a street party grant of £250. The money can be used for food, drink (but not alcohol), decorations and entertainment.

Before applying, people are advised to speak to their neighbours, find out if there is support in the community for holding a party, and confirm a location, date and time.

Applications are accepted until 5pm on Monday 11 April and we’ll let you know the outcome by Monday 25 April.   To apply online, visit the website here.
