This weekend sees the return of a popular Coventry event: Canley Parade. And people are being warned to be aware of rolling road closures as the parade takes place.

Festivities kick off at 11am on Saturday (June 22) with the parade route beginning at Canley Community Church on Charter Avenue before finishing at Prior Deram Park at around 12.30pm.

After the parade people are invited to attend the Big Lunch at the park, with delicious free food on offer served by the Canley Pop Up Cafe. There will also be a variety of community stalls and activities for all ages.

Gemma Wright, Head of Creative at Warwick Arts Centre said: “We are thrilled to be working alongside our friends in Canley on the fourth Canley Parade, which this year coincides with the Big Lunch. It is always a joyous day full of colour, music, food and creativity that brings everyone from the community together.

“We can’t wait to see the amazing creations and responses to this year’s theme of Nurture Nature and be joined by residents and groups from across the area.

“This year, the community are leading on parade arrangements with support from the team at Warwick Arts Centre to embed this wonderful celebratory day into the annual Canley calendar. As the Canley saying goes, We Can in Canley!”

Road closures

The parade will begin at Canley Community Church before moving onto Glebe Close, passing Willowbrook Residential Village, and proceeding along Kele Road, Thomas Sharp Street, Mitchell Avenue, Wendiburgh Street, John Rous Avenue, Mayors Croft, and Sheriff Avenue, finally crossing Templars Field to end at Prior Deram Park.

To ensure everyone’s safety, there will be rolling road closures along the route for up to 15 minutes. The following roads will be affected:

Kele Road, Glebe Close, Wansfell Close, Penrose Close, Donegal Close, Thomas Sharp Street, Mitchell Avenue, Wendiburgh Street, Langwood Close, John Rous Avenue, Mayors Croft, Henry Boteler Road, Templar Fields, Freeburn Causeway, Prior Deram Walk, Queen Margarets Road, Hemsby Close, Walsall Street.

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

Jay Slater: Spanish authorities remain silent on missing teen while online conspiracies reach fever pitch
What was a sprawling operation last week now feels more focused, with a cluster of officers from the Civil Guard telling me they were looking at a particular ravine with a nearby water source. Gesturing to the other side of the uneven terrain, one explained how they needed special equipment to access an area that is difficult to traverse on foot. The changeable conditions we've seen in the Rural de Teno national park over the past week have included not just the high temperatures you'd expect in Tenerife, but also cloud cover, high winds and rain.
