Roading manager Steve Bowden said the letter from Grey Power was the only objection received.
He told elected members the timing of the closure is to prevent cars getting trapped within the closure.
"If cars are parked in the closure while the parade is happening, they can't leave."
Grey Power members are also concerned about how they will get their prescriptions from the pharmacy, says Peter.
Peter says the group is also concerned about the detour route, saying accidents are likely to occur.
"I have seen many near misses on the corners of Juliet/ Regan street and Juliet/ Fenton street. Traffic was denied access at Hills Road last year. It's hard to get to the west-south of Stratford."
Steve said road closure and detour signage will be placed at the intersections and the council will ensure all vehicles wishing to use Hills Road will have access.
Peter says he and his fellow Grey Power members don't object to the parade itself, and want people to enjoy it, but feel their own enjoyment is diminished by some of the concerns they have raised.
"I love attending the Christmas Parade and I want other members of Grey Power to be able to attend it as well."
At the Council meeting, councillors decided to go ahead with the road closure to enable the parade to go ahead.
