People living in the Wirral hoping to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee were shocked by a 'hidden fee'.
Wirral council waived the usual fee for road closures in preparation for street parties celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee over the Jubilee weekend coming in June. However, some have been taken aback by a public liability insurance fee for hosting the party. One even reported that they would have to pay as much as £1,500 but others said the charge was much lower.
In a post on a Facebook community page dedicated to the Wirral, one person reported that they will have to pay the reported fee or would be unable to throw their desired street party, as the road closure they requested from Wirral council would not be accepted.
