How are you planning to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee?

The council has waived road closure fees for locals who want to close off their street for street parties to celebrate the monarch's jubilee on the Bank Holiday long weekend in June.

It's also set up an information page on its website to encourage communities to take part, including a Crowdfund Swansea page for those who want to crowdfund their celebrations.

Residents who use Crowdfund Swansea to raise funds for their celebrations could receive a pledge from the Council of up to £1,000, but they will need to get applications in by March 23.

Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: "Now's the time to get organising if you want to celebrate the Jubilee weekend in style.

"Normally residents would have to pay a fee to close their street or use the council's open spaces to stage celebratory events. But this time that won't happen.

"If you're looking to fund a street party, community or other sort of get-together you can use Crowdfund Swansea to raise money from the local community.

The council's crowdfunding partner Spacehive is helping people raise funds for their celebrations in the countdown to June. They've created a guide to setting up a crowdfunding campaign and they have set up a team to help with the permissions and licenses event organisers need

Cllr Francis-Davies added: "What's more, we will be assessing pitches to Crowdfund Swansea for Jubilee projects and you could receive a pledge from us towards your campaign! This year is a special year and we want everyone to have a great time celebrating Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee.

"But you need to go online and pitch your project for a Council pledge on the dedicated website here: www.spacehive.com/create 

The Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend starts on Thursday, June 2 and ends on Sunday, June 5.
