🎉 Street Parties
The Parish Council won't be hosting a big lunch for the Coronation, but would encourage those residents wishing to celebrate the Coronation to decorate their homes with bunting/red white and blue decorations and/or hold a street party.
If you would like to organise a street party with friends and neighbours over the Coronation weekend you may need to apply for a temporary road closure.
Applications for road closures should be made by Monday 27th March 2023 - there is no charge for Coronation commemoration road closures that are being held between 6th and 8th May.
👐 Monday 8th May
An additional public holiday has been granted for Monday 8th May, and members of the public are invited to take part in The Big Help Out, which encourages people to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas and create a lasting volunteering legacy from the Coronation Weekend.
Although the parish council wont be hosting a big lunch, we will be celebrating by decorating lampposts throughout the village with Coronation decorations.
