Last month Wigan Today published a list of the first 70 street parties authorised to take place in the borough by Wigan Council between June 2 and 4 who all qualified for party packs.

But since then, more events have been organised – swelling the number to almost 100 - perhaps a few without the local authority’s knowledge (!) or because they don’t need approval.

But as the partying gets under way, here is an updated list of all those events that have town hall permission for road closures:

St Michael & All Angels Jubilee Street party at Earl Street Wigan 10 years ago for the Queen's golden jubileeSt Michael & All Angels Jubilee Street party at Earl Street Wigan 10 years ago for the Queen's golden jubilee
St Michael & All Angels Jubilee Street party at Earl Street Wigan 10 years ago for the Queen's golden jubilee

(In some instances only parts of roads are to be sealed off. If the entry says “closed from” but does not include “to” afterwards then it means the other end is a cul-de-sac.) A couple of events have changed days since the first list was published.
