Details of how residents can apply for road closures to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday later this year with a street party have been announced by Wolverhampton council.

There will be a weekend of national celebration to mark the Queen's official birthday on June 11 and 12.

During this weekend, people are being encouraged to organise their own street parties to coincide with the huge 'Patrons Lunch' taking place on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace.

In Wolverhampton, people can apply for a road closure on the council's page here.

On the website people can download a form to apply for a road closure. Official permission needs to be given by the local authority to close a public highway.

Councillor Ian Brookfield, Mayor of Wolverhampton, said: "We were the first council in the country to waive the normal fee if someone wants to apply for a road closure. This will save anyone wanting to organise a street party for the Queen's birthday up to £700.

"The Queen is a much-loved and respected figure around the world and we know that many people will wish to celebrate this milestone birthday.

"The traditional way to celebrate a big royal occasion is with a street party."
