Chariot Procession
January 27, 2026
The chariot festival yesterday was beautiful, bringing much-needed colour to our communities. However, it would have been helpful if local residents had been informed that we could adjust to Kenilworth, Farnan and Chandos being closed for an hour or so. I remember you doing so in previous years. I am not sure who is responsible (the council?) or whether maybe I missed the flyer or street notice. Anyway, as I said, it was a wonderful procession, and it was nice to see so many dressed up and enjoying the occasion.
