West Lynn Street Party
On Thursday March 21st, West Lynn (Richmond Rd) came alive as people and families flocked to the street party and twilight market. Feedback on the event has been wonderfully positive, one retailer estimating his business lifted by some 50% with a steady stream of customers throughout the evening. The event was opened by Pippa Coom, deputy chair of Waitemata Board and a board member of GLBA. As Reverend Faasoo gave the blessing more people were arriving. Estimates put the numbers attending at several thousand.
For the first time the street party extended up to Surrey Cres, providing a 500m stretch to host a rich variety of stalls, arts and craft, live bands and music. The Surrey Crescent end had a special childrens focus with bouncy castle, face painting and the local Daycare Centre. At the Warnock Street end, the street was alive with a wonderful selection of foods, music, and crafts, people mingling and enjoying the entertainment and festive atmosphere.
