I'm assuming Silverfox means the 'Strip' portion of LL rather than the bit by the Harvester. Probably not a good idea due to it being such a Main route. If it needs to be a destination point then Northcross road would be better. Better still would be any of the residential roads which could be more easily closed to traffic.

Totally agree. I don't think that you'd get permission to close Lordship Lane anyway.


Not fussed one way or another to be honest, doubt I'd join in. And whilst I wish them every happiness, as I would any other couple, I'm really not that interested.


I'm much more interested in celebrating my own first wedding anniversary, which will be the very next day :)

From the Library down to Goose Green would be ideal. However, given the gradient of the hill for tables, stalls etc, perhaps more practical would be from the Magdala down to Goose Green and sideways along North Cross Road.


There could be clowns, magicians for the children, bands, street performers, neighbours could come together with their own picnics, local shops, restaurants could have their own food stalls, coffee/tea stalls, the pubs would be open all day.

May day celebration sounds good. Goose green the venue.

Maypole, olde pipers,morris men.craft stalls,etc.

It used to be fun until, the socialists and Russians ruined it.

Nice time to celebrate spring.

But as for celebrating with a street party,no I dont agree,

They were for Coranations and victories origionally.

Best kept in the city.

The best street parties I've helped with have lots of keen residents. The part of Lordship Lane you propose has relatively few residents.

The bus route diversions would be complicated and that a lot of bus routes diverting even for a bank holiday. Equally its main emergency service route without any traffic calming.

What would work really well is side roads having street parties and I hope lots do use the royal wedding to hold a street party. Fingers crossed it s a sunny day.

BUT if anyone is thinking of holding a street party you'll need to get cracking as the noticing etc of closing a road and getting police, fire, ambulance agreement takes 6-8 weeks and the that bank holiday is only 14 weeks away.

      Which pharmacy can give antibiotics without prescription

      By Sue · Posted

      I find the self diagnosis thing  a bit worrying. I once nearly died because a hospital  doctor misdiagnosed a ruptured ovarian cyst and peritonitis as food poisoning. It was lucky I hadn't initially diagnosed it as food poisoning myself and assumed  the sickness and pain would go away. I called my GP, who called an ambulance. I ended up having an emergency operation in a different hospital, the first hospital not having scanning facilities (this was in the olden days) 🙄

      but GPs have your medical records. Perhaps  by "self diagnosis" you meant that you recognised the pain.

      Ageism

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Some employers prefer older people as they are deemed to be more reliable, B and Q at one time had lots of 'older people'. I retired at 66  but on a casual visit to my old department, my former boss offered me a job saying I could name my hours. Would have loved to taken him up on it but the reason I took 'early retirement' was that my arthritis restricted my mobility re walking and standing for periods of time.  I would say it may not be ageism but not being deemed suitable for the position.  Someone I know was always looking for part time work but having spoken to her over a period of years, although she may have had the qualifications  needed for the work, her general attitude towards others and her very set views, I could understand why she found paid employment difficult to achieve. Can you do voluntary work? This may give you additional transferable skills.
