Erewash Borough Council has sent its warmest congratulations to Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle on behalf of the residents of the borough following the
announcement of the royal engagement today. In a letter sent to Clarence House,
the Mayor of Erewash, Councillor Mary Hopkinson, says: “As Mayor of the
Borough of Erewash here in Derbyshire, it gives me the greatest of pleasure on
behalf of the Authority and the citizens of the Borough, to write and offer our
sincere congratulations to His Royal Highness and Ms Markle on their
engagement. May we wish them both a lifetime of happiness together.”
The council has also confirmed that it will make a
small fund available to help local organisations and
groups host street parties to celebrate the royal
wedding next spring. Councillor Carol Hart, Leader
of the Council, says:
“We share the nation’s delight at this wonderful news
and we are pleased to be able to announce that a
small amount of money will be available to help,
wherever possible, those who organise street parties for this roya l occasion. I have no doubt that the
Erewash borough will join the nationwide wedding
celebrations to congratulate Prince Harry and
Meghan and wish them great happiness for their life
together.”
A similar fund for street parties was provided by the
council for the wedding of Prince William and Kate
Middleton in 2011.
