CELEBRATING The Queen's Diamond Jubilee has given more than 100 neighbours the chance to get to know each other.
Gordon's Girlies Plus One is the organising committee for a street party being held for residents of Gordon Road, Nelson Road and Little Woodlands, Windsor, on Tuesday, June 5.
After a couple of meetings and a leaflet drop in the three roads advertising the plans and appealing for volunteers to help co-ordinate events, neighbours are already experiencing the benefits of a friendlier atmosphere around their homes.
Mick Whittington, 57, is the only man on the committee, which meets on Monday evenings in each other homes. He said: "We had a street party for VE Day and for a while after that everyone waved to each other and said 'hello' more often in the street. It is a very British thing to do I think but people don't know their neighbours too well these days."
The party will feature a Tug of War, barbecue and lots of Union Jack bunting.
Lisa Kandolha, who moved to Windsor six months ago from Chiswick, said: "This party has really given me the chance to get to know people and helped us settle in."
