Wandsworth Council has announced that it is to waive fees for any street parties held during May but applications have to be submitted by this Sunday (2 April).
The Mayor of Wandsworth is encouraging everyone to get together with their community and celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
The Coronation Big Lunch will be calling on people to share food and fun together on 7 May in a nationwide act of celebration. It can be anything from a cup of tea with a neighbour to a huge community party.
The council is waiving the usual fees for organising a Street Party at any time during May. To find out more about street closures, and apply online visit About street parties - Wandsworth Borough Council.
The Big Help Out on 8 May will highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities. People are encouraged to try volunteering for themselves and join the work to create a lasting volunteering legacy from the Coronation Weekend.
Local community and voluntary organisations are being encouraged to organise events celebrating or recruiting volunteers. If your group would like the Mayor of Wandsworth to visit your event, email Mayors.Office@wandsworth.gov.uk.
The Mayor of Wandsworth Jeremy Ambache said, “Over the past few months I have visited so many local groups and communities and I know how strong and united we are. Let’s show the rest of London what Wandsworth can do!”

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
