Coronation parties popular in South-East

More than one-thousand street parties are being planned in the South-East for the King’s Coronation.

Most will take place on Sunday 7th May as part of the Big Coronation Lunch.

It’s expected to be as popular as the Platinum Jubilee last year.

Requests have been made for 410 road closures in Kent, 396 in Surrey and 236 in Sussex.

Jeanette Hore, who is helping to organise a coronation street party in Mayfield, East Sussex, said: “Last year we had a street party in the
high street for the platinum jubilee and around 1,000 people attended.  If the weather is good I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a similar number”.

Over a million events have been held since 2009 when the Big Lunch
began.
