Event Hosting Permissions
Wirral’s licensing authorities will encourage live music, dancing and theatre for the wider cultural benefit of the borough and its people. The authority will balance carefully the potential for limited disturbance in particular neighbourhoods against the benefit for the wider area.

any special traffic arrangements can be discussed. Below are some notes.
- permission must be agreed with the Council 4 weeks before the event
- a charge of £110.00 is payable to the Council

Road closures
Sometimes in special circumstances roads are closed to allow sporting events,
parades or demonstrations to take place.
When special events require the road to be closed off to general traffic a temporary road closure will be required which can only be granted with the written agreement of the police. Such closures require a traffic regulation order.
All costs involved for both the closure and diversion signing will have to be borne by the event organiser. At least 4 weeks notice is required and for some events up to three months will be needed in order to organise them properly. Large events may require even longer.
Demonstrations cannot be dealt with by the Council and for these events the police must be contacted so that they can make the appropriate arrangements.
Application for all road closures can be made by either calling StreetScene on 606 2004, email streetscene@wirral.gov.uk
