Street Parties

There have been many Street Parties over the years.

We seem to have one about every 4 years. The events celebrated have been everything from “Victory Europe” VE Day in 1944 to the Queen Mother’s Birthday.

The Residents Association agreed that a Street Party this year would be a great idea and is long overdue.

What is a Street Party ?

Anyone who has been in the Street for more than 3 years will be able to tell you.

Basically, we apply to the Council for a Street Closure Notice. We take out Public Liability Insurance for the day. On the day, we ask all Residents to remove all the cars from the Road.

In addition, we arrange for a band, children's entertainers, face painting. We decorate the street with bunting and flags and we all put tables in the street and invite all our friends to come.

Everyone is welcome, so we often get people from the local area coming to see what we are up to and they invariably join in on the drunken Karaoke etc.

There as always is a cost involved and we will be asking for a £15 contribution per household this year. This pays for the entertainment and the £500 insurance premium for the day.

The date for the Street Party is 5th July 2008.

Photographs Please

Those of you that have photographs of these events, please forward them.

I know that there are even photos of the VE day street party of 1944 out there.
