Hi, myself and another neighbours knocked on all the doors on Colfe Road on 2 separate occasions, to collect signatures to ensure people were happy about the street party. We got very enthusiastic responses.

The council then agreed to the party and the road will be closed.

We then distributed fliers to every single house on the road telling them about the plans and inviting them to a meeting so they can discuss how people can contribute and decide on entertainment etc. (You must have missed your flier).

Our street party is part of the Eden's project national project- see http://www.thebiglunch.com/.

Remember it's to promote community spirit and neighbourly cohesion.

They'll be fun music, food and lots of entertainment for adults and kids, including a bouncy castle. It's a daytime event, not in the evening. We are currently finalising details.

We are all very excited about it and think it will be a great day.
