Hi sunbob,

Street parties are really aimed at people living on a particular street. they're organised by residents for residents.

The various authorities give permission on this basis else they'd need to arrange stewarding, public toilets, etc, etc.

If you want to celebrate Dulwich Park has an event. OR ask around your street and perhaps have your own street party later this summer - maybe to celebrate the Olympics.


Hi grumpyoldman, the-e-dealer,

Officially you need to get a street closure notice. This enable fire, ambulance and Police to know in advance that certain roads will be closed and not delay any blue light responses. IF lots of neighbours were to impromptu have a street party not a lot anyone could do but I would encourage you to perhaps hold one later in the summer and I'd be only to happy to help you arrange it all and give advice.

Answer the question ? someone? "Whats the situation if someone hasn't got permission and closes their Road?"


They will be arrested and the street re-opened (assuming anyone notifies the authorities). Actually, depending on the size of the road being 'closed' - and whether it's on a fire police or ambulance access route there may be little actual come-back - however anyone inconvenienced by the closure (or, for instance, having their house burnt-down because fire-engines couldn't access quickly enough) would have a damn good civil case against those closing the road, unless they were themselves party to the closure.


It's an offence to block the public highway.

Fancy coming along to our Big Picnic at Aquarius Golf Club on June 5th?


4 bands on outdoor stage, with lots of people on blankets & groundsheets eating pork pie and cucumber sandwiches with lashings of ginger beer.


A good (but not Festival standard) line up finishing at around 7-8.00pm?


Let me know so I can man the gate!!!

For all those not doing anything, but wanting to be a part of a big party, we are holding a 'Big Picnic' at Aquarius Golf Club for our local community. The line up of live bands, playing on the infamous 7th tee stage is already looking pretty good (Steve Boltz & New White Trash headlining, and support from Country Dirt, and a few other noteable local acts to be confirmed.) There will be abundant and affordable food & drink available from the 'Top of the World' Club bar, and hopefully a really 'Festival' feel to the day. Check the attached flyer/invitation for more details, or visit our Facebook event page to keep up with the buzz.

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
