Kenilworth residents can now apply for temporary road closures to host street parties for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer.

Warwick District Council is also offering grants of £250 to £1,000 to registered community organisations to pay for bunting, signage and decorations for parties across the four-day weekend.

But residents wishing to host their own smaller events between Thursday June, 2 to Sunday 5 can apply to WDC for a road closure.

Council leader Cllr Andrew Day said: "Her Majesty the Queen has selflessly served the country and the Commonwealth for an incredible 70 years of her life.

"This unique moment in history is worthy of a fantastic celebration, and I'm delighted that the council can offer its help and support to ensure that our residents can come together and celebrate, particularly after what has been a difficult couple of years."

For information on street parties and to make an application to close a road, visit the WDC website here.

Applications for the Jubilee weekend should be made by Wednesday 20 April.
