Neighbours play bingo in the street to ease lockdown boredom

Story and video from SWNS

A community battling boredom is holding a weekly session of bingo on their street.

Dan Moss, 43, filmed the residents' latest game in Denton, Manchester, last Sunday.

The weekly meet-ups were organised by one of the residents of Coppice Walk, and Dan's neighbour, Luan Caldwell.

Dan said: "I had no official role in the bingo, just thought it would be nice to record a video of the great community spirit.

"Neighbours donated prizes for each of the three games. The star prize was the 'Survival Pack' which consisted of a jigsaw, a bar of chocolate and toilet roll."

Dan, who is part of the 'Coppice Walk Community Help' Facebook group said it was formed to support residents through the social difficulties during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We've also had a couple of coffee mornings and afternoon teas, neighbours are sitting on their drives having a chat.

"The weather has helped massively. We have all already discussed throwing a street party when it's safe to do so.

"It is massively important that we are all finding ways to socialise together and this is bringing us together closer as a community".
