Several royal wedding street parties are happening in East Dulwich - Elsie Road, Nutfield Road, Carver Road.

Several others in Dulwich Village area - Desenfans Road, Burbage Road.


In total 13 street parties across Southwark that require a formal street closure.


This has been supported by Southwark News waiving the legally required advertising costs - something former ED Cllr Richard Thomas organised with Southwark NEws several years ago.

Hi Lucyd30,

A resident or residents will have put a letter through everyone door and probably canvassed door to door asking if any minded a street party being held. Assuming broadly a supportive street and others want to get involved said resident/s will have apporached Southwark Events Team and confirmed the actions they took to check people on a street supported a street party. A few forms to fill in about insurance, when, how closed, what proposed to take place. Advert gets placed, Notices go up on lamp posts to give people a formal opportuntiy to object and hay presto you have a street party in the making.


If you've missed organising a street party for this year royal wedding nothing to stop you organising one for The Big Lunch in early June.

IF ANY ONE WANTS A ROYAL WEDDING STREET PARTY BUT MISSED THE DEADLINE EMAIL ME NOW


I've asked council officers if we could be creative in enabling any further street parties to happen and at a push it may be possible. But time is REALLY pressing.


I seem to recall one person asking about Friern Road.


EMAIL ME IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR STREET TO HAVE A STREET PARTY.

Hey all,


David Cameron came out and said the other day that if you want to have a street party to just do it! :D It's a day off so why not! And if there are any complaints direct it to Downing Street!


Also, I am biased when I say this as they are a client of my company but we have just helped Funkin launch a Royal Wedding cocktail party pack http://bit.ly/hKagRa


Anyways, looking forward to my own party on the day, it's a day off so why not!


Best,

Darren

Hi DarrenSpriing,

So, no consideration of ambulance and fire engine routes - just block 'em.

No consideration of bus routes - just block 'em.

No consideration of whether your neighbours want a street party or not - just.....

David Cameron gives great sound bite but what utter nonsense.


If anyone wants to try for a previously unannounced street party PLEASE get in touch with me ASAP and I and council officers will attempt to expedite it happening.

BUT you will need to show lots of support from your neighbours for an emergency traffic order to be arranged.

Very well said James. Normal life cannot be put on hold for this. Personally, I really hope there is nothing happening near me. For some people a day off means relaxing with friends or family and a bit of peace and quiet. I guess everybody has a different idea of what constitutes 'fun'. I can't think of anything less fun and more intrusive than a street party.

What a cracking idea!


I am more than happy to help organise this too - I was going to have a small soir?e at my home, but would be happy, as would my friends, to join in something more community.


Very few things to celebrate in the UK at the moment, what a great idea to get the residents of ED out en mass to mark this great day. I am not a Royalist, but I do appreciate and support a sense of occasion.

I think the point is Charlotte, that if you want one, then you need to organise it yourself along with the appropriate permissions.


All James can help you do is get the road closure, for the rest of it you need to knock on a few doors and create your own team.

Er thanks Huguenot - the original post was asking about a 'planning committee' and that was what I was offering to help with...


I have absolute clarity on what James is about to assist with. I was just volunteering to assist if the planning committee was going ahead! Just trying to be neighbourly?

I don't think DC said ``just do it.'' I think he said something along the lines of: ``if the council says you have missed the deadline, give them an extra push because the deadline that councils set isn't legally binding, it is just their policy, so can be altered. If you can't have a street party, nobody can stop you having a party in your garden.''


James' post seems to be exactly in the spirit of the PM's diktat: he's waiving the official deadline (which, no doubt was set because of the difficulties inherent in closing a street in a busy London borough,) and encouraging everybody who wants to have a party to remove their fingers ASAP and get organizing. It's not as if he hasn't been encouraging people from the start, though.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?

      By Rockets · Posted

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
