Kenilworth residents can now apply for temporary road closures to host street parties for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer.
A four-day weekend has been announced to celebrate the Queen's 70-years on the throne, and Kenilworth Town Council has already announced plans to host a community picnic on Warwick Road.
But residents wishing to host their own smaller events between Thursday June, 2 to Sunday 5 can apply to Warwick District Council for a road closure.
WDC is also offering grants of £250 to £1,000 to registered community organisations to pay for bunting, signage and decorations.
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.
