The coronation of King Charles III is just days away now and final preparations are being made across the nation to celebrate the event.

In Wigan borough dozens of roads will be sealed off with local authority permission as patriotic street parties are held, largely on coronation day itself – Saturday May 6 – and the day afterwards, with only one taking place on the bank holiday Monday when volunteering is the main focal point of festivities.

Almost 50 applications were made to Wigan Council for road closures – around half the number made for Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee last summer - but there will be others where town hall approval is not required.

The council is also hosting two major events: The Big Coronation Lunch at Leigh Town Hall from 11am to 4pm on Sunday May 7 and a Coronation Party in the Park in Mesnes Park from 11am to 4pm on Monday May 8.

The council has also been providing toolkits and templates to help families get kitted out in Royal colours for their own street parties.

The list is being published not so much for the benefit of neighbours who are taking part, but motorists so they know which streets to avoid and at what time.
