East Goscote Jubilee Festival
Join us to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee on Saturday 4th June.
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations – Survey Results
Thank you for taking the time to complete our recent survey for celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We had 96 responses in total – a good result given the time and scope of the survey.
The feedback shows that a community event was the preferred options with 63 votes and the council has taken this on board, with the East Goscote Jubilee Festival taking place on Saturday 4th June. Thanks to a small number of residents and Councillors who have worked very hard to make this happen.
Changing the name of Jubilee Playing Fields and the Mound to Jubilee Park interestingly resulted in a 50/50 split and so the Parish Council have agreed to defer any decision on this until 2023.
Once again, thank you for participating in our survey.
