Chester Terrace, Brighton community

We could really do with some musicians for the street party. Do ask your friends and neighbours. As it's our first one we have no budget but hopefully next year we could do a collection and pay some people. But if anyone fancies playing do let me know! We can pay them in cake :)

YAY! We've had the road closure agreed so the street party is going ahead!! Make sure you all have it in your diaries. Mike and I have done some more door knocking on the north side of the road to introduce ourselves and tell about the street party and hand out a leaflet reminder. Do tell your neighbours when you see them as well.

Big thank you to John Colwell for these photos of when he lived on the road as a child. At the bottom is a document with lots of information about his life there.

Hello everyone, I'm still waiting on approval from the council but they did email a few weeks ago to say they'd received the application so at least that's something! I'll let you know as soon as I hear more and we can have another meeting to firm up plans! This is the leaflet that you should have had popped through your door! 

STREET PARTY UPDATE: SIGNATURES Mike and I had a successful walk around today (and I went around this evening for a few more) and I'm pleased to say that overall we had a wonderful response to the street party and met some lovely people! The form the council need filling in with 75% of the road agreeing to the road closure We needed two thirds positive response and have got 73% of the road signed up today so I have filled out the form to send to the council for the road closure which is really exciting! I also dropped in a little save the date leaflet to those who signed  (hello to four new neighbours who joined this evening after that!) Two people raised an objection to moving cars for the day. I understand that parking is such a pain but it would be so lovely for one day for the road to be clear and for children to be able to play car free. Plus, much easier for the planned north/south tug o' war  ;)  So please do move your cars by around midday. ...

Hi everyone! Sorry for the big delay in giving you the minutes from our street party meeting. It was lovely to meet some new neighbours, thank you to those who came. Here are the decisions we came to. Next steps are at the bottom: DATE: Sunday 10th June 2018 TIME: 2-8pm ROAD CLOSURE: We will be closing the part of Chester Terrace below Lucerne Rd down to Stanford Avenue but we will be having the tables from Lucerne Rd halfway down to encourage people to not just hang out with the neighbours they may already know, and to welcome the north end of Chester Terrace to come down as well. - Please see the attached map - grey box for road closure, blue for table placement. - Cars would need to be moved by midday. Having no cars really is important so kids can play and there's lots of room for everyone to put tables and get around them, plus it's just nice to see the road without cards! Our permit reaches really far and we have lots of notice about moving them - remember that So...
