Forum topic: Street Party

A street party weekend in Palmers Green with events occurring in Old Park Road, Broomfield Avenue and Osborne Road (at least). Straightforward to organise and great for street-spirit. Street closure details are on the council’s web site. If not this year, there is plenty of time to plan your own 2025 event.

Last weekend was the Great Get Together weekend, the annual celebration of everything that unites our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that there is more which unites us than divides us. Jo Cox MP, was a young mother of two, shot and repeatedly stabbed to death in cold blood during the daytime in a normal English town by a nationalist of the far right. The Great Get Together was set up in memory and an appropriate time for a uniting street party. There are many other weekends in the year, such as The Big Lunch or nothing in particular.
