Wakeley Hill street party in Wolverhampton

Looking north-west towards Church Hill. Preparations are being made for the afternoon's street party to commemorate Black Country Day, 14 July 2024. Notices on telegraph poles were seen locally well in advance, but there was nothing on the internet to indicate the road would be closed, not even on the council website regarding street parties. The police arrived earlier, and even they had not been informed by the council that permission had been granted. There were no "road closed" or diversion signs either at the junction with Church Hill, or the junction with Mount Road (behind the camera).
