  • Motion reference: S6M-08821

That the Parliament congratulates Kirsteen Oliver, a stallholder at the farmers market in Partick, along with neighbours, for organising a street party to celebrate the Coronation while raising money for the British Red Cross; understands that the event for the community in Nottingham Avenue, in the Kelvindale area, will take place on 7 May 2023; notes that, while the occasion is The King’s Coronation, the event is more about holding a community gathering; understands that it will be the fourth time that a community party has been held on the street, with previous street parties having been held for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Golden Jubilee and the Commonwealth Games; recognises that residents in the surrounding streets have also been invited to attend, with around 80 adults and children expected; notes that people are being asked to bring their own chairs and food, making it a community effort; acknowledges that the neighbours will gather for a short opening ceremony and ribbon cutting at the food tent, followed by food and drinks, a treasure hunt, races and a raffle; understands that Maryhill community police officers will also be in attendance, showing children around the police car; notes that neighbours have volunteered to do face painting and nail painting, while others will bring play equipment for children to play on in the street, and understands that money has been raised through donations to pay for any costs, and that the remaining money will be donated to the British Red Cross.
