James Barber Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 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.

Huguenot Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 By the sounds of it they have been organised by the residents of those roads?

James Barber Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 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.

James Barber Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 IF ANY ONE WANTS A ROYAL WEDDING STREET PARTY BUT MISSED THE DEADLINE EMAIL ME NOWI'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.

DarrenSpriing Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/7/#findComment-427155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Barber Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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.

roblay Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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.

Charlie1471 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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.Charlotte Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/7/#findComment-427231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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.

Charlie1471 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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?

Sue Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The original post was talking about a planning committee for a street party in Lordship Lane.That isn't happening.

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.

DarrenSpriing Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi again all,Obviously there are a lot of things to consider but if people want to celebrate they will! Let's all hope people get to have their own versions of 'fun' on the day and it goes smoothly.Best,Darren Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/7/#findComment-428537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
