Diamond Jubilee in Cranfield

The Parish Council and local organisations want to make sure everyone has a great time on the Diamond Jubilee. The plan, so far, is to hold a Diamond Jubilee Celebration in the heart of Cranfield on Tuesday 5 June in the playing field/park and the village hall and the church, possibly schools as well, if agreed. But that is down to you getting moving now.

On behalf of the Parish Council, parish councillors Roger Baker, Cranfield Girl Guide coordinator Claire Jenkins and I are collaborating to ensure that all individuals and organisations that want to set up an event get the help and advice they need. For instance the most urgent is money. If your organisation wants to apply to the Parish Council for a ‘Section 137’ grant for seed corn your application must be with the PC clerk Rosie Davy Hunt by Tuesday 6 March by the latest (for consideration by the meeting on 7 March).

There is also liaison with Central Beds Council for road closures and health and safety matters.


Roger. Claire and I are setting up the Diamond Jubilee Forum a loose group designed to provide mutual support and help break down bureaucratic barriers to a successful Jube experience. Its first meeting is 6-7 pm on Thursday 8 March at 8 Broad Green. We’ll keep them short and sweet.
