	New approach agreed for communities organising street parties and summer fetes, 27 August communities.gov.uk, 27 August 2010 "At last the red tape is being cut on road closures and the bunting can go up on building community spirit through street parties. After years of campaigning on this the Government is listening to us. Though there is more to do, it is a great step for common sense and a chance to open up the country to the simple pleasure of meeting your neighbours in your traffic-free street. We hope that councils will respond with a sigh of relief and make it easier for residents to join in what is a great British tradition." Chris Gittins, Streets Alive.
