PEOPLE in Clydebank have yet to be gripped by enthusiasm for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this weekend.
Local residents wanting to organise official street parties for the royal wedding this Saturday had to do so in advance through the licensing department at West Dunbartonshire Council.
But a council spokesperson told the Post: “We have had no applications for street parties on May 19.”
Hundreds of parties led by local residents around the UK are expected to coincide with the bell ringing at Windsor Castle, as Prince Harry marries the former Suits actress, but none, it seems, will be in Clydebank.
With many local authorities across the country having abolished road closure fees, it has never been cheaper to encourage community spirit on your doorstep.
But this Saturday’s ceremony doesn’t appear to have sparked fever pitch in West Dunbartonshire.
Most of the UK’s local councils required residents to make an application in advance of the proposed street party.
Residents were asked to make sure this was done four to six weeks in advance to allow a formal risk assessment to be undertaken.
