Killjoy councils crackdown on 'illegal picnics' and bunting for King's Coronation

Councils are launching a crackdown on 'unauthorised picnics' in the park for the King's Coronation as residents are told they need to fill out paperwork before they plan celebrations.

Members of the public hoping to mark the historic occasion outdoors on May 6 will need to apply for advance permission in many areas, with North Somerset Council requiring a nine-page form and a risk assessment.

It follows a number of similar restrictions introduced to stop unregistered street parties going ahead, while restrictions on bunting will also be in force along some public roads.
