Celebrations for the Coronation of King Charles III
Thu 04 May 2023
Ealing Council's decision to scrap the road closure fee and provide financial aid of up to £150 per street party has been welcomed by residents.
The fact that more than 190 applications were received for the Coronation street parties indicates that a significant number of residents are actively preparing to celebrate the occasion by hosting street parties with their loved ones and neighbours during the weekend of the Coronation.
Lots of coronation events will be taking place in Southall but they won't be properly promoted and it has nothing to do with the community's lack of digital access.
People don’t find it necessary to promote them or to promote them online to the general public. Only they know the real reason for that.
Southall Community Alliance event
The Southall Community Alliance will be holding some sort of event at Southall Town Hall on Saturday 5th May 2023. More details to follow. [It actually took place on Friday 5th May 2023.]
The coronation flag was raised at Southall Town Hall by Cllr Peter Mason, the Leader of the Council on Friday 5th May 2023.
Ealing Southall MP Virendra Sharma was delighted to join Southall Community Alliance in celebrating Saturday's coronation and cutting the cake together with his wife, Nirmala.
