streets behind

There'S no great rush this side of the Border to arrange street parties for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Down south there have been 6500 applications to hold al fresco celebrations.

In Scotland it was fewer than 50, almost the same as the city of Winchester which is hosting 47. The Scottish total doubled when the Borders Council put up a £40,000 kitty for parties. Only seven are planned in Glasgow and none at all in Dundee. Whole other swathes of Scotia are Jubilee-free.
