Walsall Council is keen to support local communities in their celebrations for the Coronation of Kings Charles III on Saturday, 6 May, 2023.
Consequently, members of the public planning street parties are asked to submit an application before 31 March 2023 so that road closures can be organised.
Additionally, a limited number of small grants of up to £150 are available to help community groups celebrate. Further details on the grants are due to be announced shortly.
Events are expected to take place over the weekend of the Coronation, between 6-8 May 2023. A Coronation concert will be held at Windsor Castle on the 7 May
“Last year’s local celebrations for the Jubilee across the borough were just awe-inspiring and so important for bringing people back together after the worst of the pandemic. I hope we see more of this for the Coronation because together, as communities, we’re stronger, “ said Councillor Gary Perry.
If you’re thinking of organising a street party, start planning now and make sure you get your application in on time if you’re requesting a road closure.“
