Newport Road street party 2021
Saturday 4 September 2021 – after a year off because of the pandemic our street party was back at last! The weather was pleasant, and we had another fun afternoon. We had live entertainment from local ceilidh band Left Foot Forwards, and a few of us had a go at Scottish dancing too. This year’s quiz was hosted by Richard and again featured some local knowledge, with a prize provided by Richfields. We had local DJ Burt for the first time spinning some great party sounds, and the Coffee Cube van arrived just in time for us to enjoy a hot drink after lunch. Many thanks to Andy and the Mod team for more fantastic free food, everyone who helped and the residents of Newport Road for their support. And thanks to everyone at New Hope for organising the children’s activities.
