Good neighbour call to Liverpool residents European Neighbours Day

Liverpool City Council want to encourage residents to get to know their neighbours to "create stronger communities".

People are being asked to arrange events including coffee mornings, picnics, or street parties.

Councillor Marilyn Fielding said good neighbour relations "is an important part of making our communities a safer, happier place to live".

The idea is part of the city's take on European Neighbours Day.

"The week is a great opportunity for people to get to know their fellow residents and celebrate the importance of community life," Councillor Fielding said.

Events should be registered with the city council, which will help promote them.

The official day is Tuesday 26 May and more than eight million people are expected to take part across Europe.

Sounds very patronising to me.

This sort of thing wasn't required when I were a lad - where's my cap and walking stick.

Imagine street parties today. You'd have to have security:PDT_Xtremez_42:

Can you claim expenses for the food?

Anything associated with Europe is a no-no for me, but I have always tried to be a good neighbour nevertheless.

If the shi..., sorry, Liverpool get to a final the reds in our Close organise a marquee and show the game on a big projection screen. Almost everyone in the close goes so it's like a street party. They're quite good but I hope I never attend one again. :unibrow:
