Plan your Diamond Jubilee street party
People are being invited to organise a Blackpool street party, to celebrate this summer’s Diamond Jubilee.

The jubilee celebrations, which take place on 2 – 5 June 2012, will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign on the throne.

As a part of the 4 day celebrations, people are being invited to close their road to traffic for the day and hold an outside party in their street.

Anyone who is looking to apply to have their road closed must fill out and return a form to Blackpool Council, applying to have their road shut for the day.

People can choose any day within the celebrations to have their street party.

Cllr Fred Jackson, Cabinet Member for Streets and Transport, said: “The jubilee promises to be a great celebration all over the country and I hope that people will get into the spirit of it in Blackpool too.

“As we all know, Blackpool can host some parties capable of rivalling any other street in the country so I hope people will make the most of this great opportunity.

“These parties can be great community events and offer the chance for you to get to know your neighbours a bit better too. What better way of getting involved with the local community than being your street’s designated jubilee party planner!”
If you wish to hold a street party, you must notify Blackpool Council so that we can close the road for you on that day.

An application form can be downloaded at www.blackpool.gov.uk/streetparty or by contacting 476180.

All applications should be made by 11 May 2012.
