Lullington close also held their street party on Saturday for VE Day. Neighbours enjoyed singing old songs, sharing food and each other's company. Since covid they meet each Saturday outside the flats under a gazebo for a cuppa together.

Our first public living room is running outside of Lewsey Community Centre. Pop along for a cuppa, biscuit and a chat with neighbours. No agenda. No set themes to discuss. Just an opportunity to connect. This is part of our citizen activation month funded by The National Lottery Community Fund

On Monday the residents of Ashfield Way held a VE Day Street Party, coming together to share food and friendship. Residents who were alive on VE day shared their memories. Children enjoyed games and craft activities and planted sunflower seeds. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Across the town more residents will be holding VE Day Street parties this weekend. This was Hartley Road on VE Day in 1945. We hope everyone who is holding one has a fantastic time with their neighbours. Thanks to all those who have organised them for their streets.
