Stevenage's Jones Close has been crowned as the town's friendliest street after winning the Right Up My Street award.
The award gives recognition to a street in Stevenage that has made significant contribution to its residents, and the competition allows residents to identify the streets that best exemplify community spirit and great neighbourhood relations.
Jones Close was crowned the winner by Mayor Councillor Margaret Notley because of the way the residents look out for one another and their community spirit, often arranging street parties and days out for the whole street.
