PARTY organisers are urging youngsters to break the law and attend an unlicensed jubilee celebration.

Police warned yesterday that anyone planning to go to a party in Newcombe Road tomorrow could be participating in an illegal activity, as no road closure has been applied for.

They said that those caught blocking the street could be arrested for obstructing the highway.

But on the Internet the organisers are urging revellers to still turn up.

The group ballooned to more than 5,000 members yesterday as interest in the event increased.

Organiser Danny Baker, who has not responded to the Daily Echo’s request for a comment, posted yesterday to tell those worried about the police warnings to “stop being sponges”.

He added: “People who keep asking me if this is legit: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM???

are you scared to party, are you gona (sic) be worrying whilst your partying, do you not like to have fun in the sun??? “I have a dream and that dream is to all gather and party on this fine glorious day!!!”

A party in the student-dominated street during last year’s royal wedding resulted in a three-hour council clean up after piles of rubbish and broken glass were left all over the street.

Daily Echo: Diamond Jubilee - Earlier Stories

Long-termresidents described how they felt “intimidated” as more than 2,000 revellers descended on the road with huge sound systems.

Southampton City Council and Hampshire police told the Daily Echo that they have now sent a letter to residents in the road “strongly discouraging”

people from attending and saying that officers will take a “very dim view” if any attempt is made to close the road.

The letter adds that the council and police “won’t hesitate to take action where necessary”.

But many on the Internet site set up to advertise the party dismissed it as a “fake”.

Other students have defended the party plans, saying that the area has a sense of community.

Vanessa Akuoka, 21, a student from Newcombe Road, said: “Last year was awesome. It was a bit of a surprise – there had been rumours before but when they actually started blocking off the road, everyone was telling other people in the other roads.

“The news spread fast around here because people all know each other.

“There’s a real community here.”
