Public Comments

1. nah going ta 1
2. wot a gud idea.................bring the community together...............yea we may ...even wif all the rules and regs
3. The important thing is that it should be spontaneous!
4. Nope. The extra public holiday will give us the excuse to get away for a long weekend. I'm hardly going to waste that chance due to a wedding - especially of people I don't know and don't care about. It would be fantastic if we had good weather though.
5. Hell no!
6. I wasn't going to have one anyway - and what a waste of money this leaflet will be.
7. No (ha ha we're all so anti-social and boring!)
8. As far as I know there will be no street party. But what a lot of fuss over a party. I'll be surprised with those rules if anyone has one. But that is sad because it would be a lovely way to join people and communities together. Just imagine if everyone in the street did a bit and they all brought their favourite dish of food to share they could all clean up before and after. I'm sure it would work and be lovely but will the average person be willing to put that effort in? I doubt it? Most people don't have the time or inclination. If someone else organised the hard bit's blocking off the road etc I would help with setting up tables, cooking, putting out food etc. I hope we do have one! We haven't had the leaflet yet.
