The packs have been sent to all schools and care homes in Bucks and are also available on the council’s website to download, they include ideas and suggestions on how to celebrate the upcoming event.
Peter Strachan, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, commented:
“As a council, we are encouraging communities to celebrate HM’s Platinum Jubilee. We hope to see people enjoying street parties and Jubilee lunches with their neighbours, friends and families over the Bank Holiday weekend, and have waived the temporary street closure fee to help with this. The Jubilee activity packs are intended to give some ideas on other ways to celebrate throughout the year.
“These activities should be ones for the books so future generations can look back at how Buckinghamshire celebrated this key milestone of our monarch’s reign.”
The council also want to hear how you are celebrating the Jubilee in Buckinghamshire. If you’d like to share photos and stories with them, you can do so via social media @BucksCouncil or by email PlatinumJubilee-activities@buckinghamshire.gov.uk.
If you are holding a street party or Big Jubilee Lunch, register your event on the online events directory. The council has waived the road closure fee for when a temporary road closure is requested for a Jubilee street party between Thursday 2 June and Sunday 5 June 2022.
