Minutes:

Consideration was given to a joint report of the Community, Leisure and Tourism and the Democracy and Governance Portfolio Holders which proposed a number of local initiatives to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

 

Her Majesty The Queen would celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, seventy years of service, during an extended bank holiday weekend of events and activities from 2–5 June 2022.

 

Alongside promotion of national schemes to communities across the borough, it was proposed that a series of local initiatives and events be encouraged and supported along with a number of activities promoted by the Borough Council to complement the broader programme of events to allow the communities of Test Valley to honour The Queen and her years of service.

 

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed the following:

 

Recommended to Council:

 

1.  That the proposed programme of events to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee as set out in section five of the report be approved.
