 Planning a street party for the King's Coronation?
Residents and local community and voluntary groups across the city are invited to apply for grants of up to £250 so they can celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III in style.
Residents are also able to apply for free road closures so that they can host a traffic free and safe street party between 6th – 8th of May.
You need to be quick as the deadline to apply for both (road closure and King’s Coronation Fund) is 5pm on Monday April 24. Learn more.
