A series of street closures will affect Leicester in the coming days as people delve into the party spirit. Several street parties are being held to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The closures have been granted by Leicester City Council to allow communities to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70th year on the throne. The festivities are among the events taking place in the city and county to mark the historic milestone.
Drivers are warned that they risk receiving parking fines if they break the rules and do not comply with the closures. But where does it close and when?
