Street parties return to Stafford this weekend for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Street parties are expected to come alive with music, drinks and food as the nation looks to celebrate over the weekend of June 2 to June 5.

A total of 41 roads will be closed to traffic over the four-day weekend.

Councillor Carolyn Trowbridge, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said: “This has been an amazing response - and nobody at the council can remember ever having so many requests for street parties.

“It is such a fitting tribute to mark Her Majesty’s seventy years on the throne. I can still remember the excitement and wonderful atmosphere as families and neighbours came together in their own streets to hold parties to celebrate Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.

“And with so many street parties planned - alongside some big events going on around the borough - this jubilee should be one that will live long in memories.”

Across the Black Country and Staffordshire, 213 roads will shut as people are urged to plan ahead to minimise disruption.

These are the 41 streets closed across Stafford.
