VE DAY 75
On Friday 8 May 2020 it will be 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the Second World War in Europe. The day has been designated by the Government as a Bank Holiday to enable as many people and organisations as possible to take part in the VE Day weekend (8-10 May). Mid Sussex District Council’s commemoration grant scheme is offering £250 per organisation for street parties and events during the VE Day Commemoration Weekend. With a theme of ‘Invoke the War time spirit and make do and mend’ why not use local produce, be plastic free, make re-usable decorations and make it a ‘car-free’ day? See useful information on planning street parties and road closures.
