Councils urged to waive road closure charges for Harry and Meghan’s wedding
The service will be held on the same day as the FA Cup final.
Local authorities are being asked to waive charges for road closures on May 19 – to make it cheaper for people to hold royal wedding street parties.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will get married at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, on the same date as the FA Cup final at Wembley.
The service will begin at midday and the newlyweds will embark on a carriage procession along a route including Castle Hill, High Street, Sheet Street, Kings Road, Albert Road, Long Walk and finally Windsor Castle.
“The government is urging other councils to follow suit.”
An extra Bank Holiday was announced for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and the occasion was marked with street parties.
“With the FA Cup final taking place on the same day, there’s never been a better reason to hold a street party and our updated guidance makes clear the steps residents need to take to ensure an enjoyable and safe day is had by all.”
