Making it special

Street Parties this year will become a part of this country’s history.

The Mayor of Erewash, Councillor Donna Briggs, and Deputy Mayor, Councillor John Sewell, welcome invitations to attend resident-led street parties and celebrations by community groups or care organisations in the borough.

So if you have party plans in place for the Platinum Bank Holiday weekend in June, do get in touch if you would like to request a civic visit.

Contact Erewash Borough Council’s Democratic and Civic Officer Sue Dunkley email civic@erewash.gov.uk or call 0115 907 1115.

I hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, ” neighbours and communities.
