Rochdale is set to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee in style with street parties being held across the borough. A late surge of applications from patriotic residents has landed in the council’s in-tray - and that’s on top of those already set to go ahead over the four-day weekend.
The festivities, in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne, will take place from Thursday June 2 through to Sunday, June 5. Details have been released of where the street parties confirmed so far will take place - although council chiefs stress it is not the final list. There will be 18 roads closed for parties - eight in Middleton, six in Rochdale and two in both Littleborough and Heywood.
It’s not just at street parties where the jubilee celebrations go with a swing, however.With less than two weeks to go until celebrations erupt across the country, Rochdale has plenty of events lined up to mark the milestone anniversary.
