No one here has the slightest problem with people having their own street parties, or that the council has waived the fee for any road closures that might occur because of them.
If people want to sit in the wind and rain, whilst eating their jelly and ice creams, with the wet bunting flapping above, good for them.
Though judging by the apathetic reaction on here, with even the ardent royalists apparently prefering to watch the wedding in the comfort of their own homes, it'll be interessting to see just how many street parties there'll be in Hyndburn.
The vast majority of people are objecting to money being spent on a programme of civic celebrations, that we are told will centre around the Market Hall.
Big difference.
