Coronation Street Parties
No, we're not talking about a knees-up in the Rovers Return.
The coronation of King Charles III is on Saturday May 6th and Test Valley Borough Council would like to help our communities who want to throw a street party fit for a King.
To help with this we have created a Coronation Grant Scheme, which will enable organisers to apply for up to £500 towards local celebrations to mark this historic event. Voluntary groups, not for profit organisations, clubs and societies, parish and town councils and schools can all apply.
Residents looking to come together to run street parties and other events in their neighbourhood can also apply but are asked to contact their local community engagement officer first using the contact details at: www.testvalley.gov.uk/CommunityEngagementOfficers
The council has also agreed to waive the fee for road closures for events linked to the coronation.
For more information, or to apply for a grant or road closure, visit: www.testvalley.gov.uk/TheKingsCoronation
For bigger events, organisers can also apply for a Councillor Community Grant at: www.testvalley.gov.uk/councillorcommunitygrantscheme
