The King's Coronation saw communities across the country take part in street parties, events and festivities.

While some of the events were put on for free, such as street parties held and planned by residents following road closure approvals by the council, other events were hosted by councils.

In a report by Open Government, the individual council spendings on Coronation events were documented.

Reading Borough Council was amongst those who spent £0 on the Coronation.

A spokesperson for Reading Council said: "I can confirm that we didn’t put on any activities that were specifically for the Coronation. 

"We used existing events to celebrate the Coronation (for example Children’s Festival had a ‘royal’ theme).

"Therefore our spend is £0 as previously stated. In addition, some officer time would have been spent on the administration of community street parties."

Another council who spent £0 on Coronation events is Slough Borough Council.

"The council did not spend any money on Coronation events," a spokesperson for Slough Council said.

"There were some family activities in the libraries, but these were funded by a grant from Arts Council England."

West Berkshire Council confirmed it spent £200 on contractors for road closure signs for street parties, and received no grant funding for events. 

In Wokingham borough, more than £7,000 was spent in order to allow for free road closures in the area.

Leader of the council Clive Jones said: “We viewed our role in the Coronation as making sure local communities could celebrate the occasion together.

“We encouraged people living in cul-de-sacs and residential roads to apply for a free road closure to hold street parties and we waived road closure charges during the Coronation bank holiday weekend to help them do so. The total cost of that was £7,274.08 which included the road signs and barriers.

“We also set up an interactive, online platform on our Engage Wokingham website where residents could upload, view and attend Coronation events locally and see the approved road closures in place.

“Given the difficult financial situation the council and many of our residents are in at present, this seemed the most appropriate way to help people celebrate.”

Elsewhere, Bracknell Forest Council allocated a stagering £50,000 toward Coronation celebration events.

A spokesperson for Bracknell Council said: "Bracknell Forest Council originally budgeted a maximum of £50,000 for activities and events across the borough linked to the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

“The total budget is still being calculated but is likely to be significantly less than the maximum budget agreed.

“The cost included a live screening of the coronation service as well as music and dance across Saturday and Sunday.

"This enabled the Bracknell Forest community to come together to celebrate and reflect on this historic moment together. Despite the poor weather, hundreds of people attended events on both days.

“An additional activity will include the placing of a commemorative bench, plaque and time capsule that will include contributions from the community.”

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM), despite hosting the Coronation Concert in the area, did not spend any money on events.

A RBWM spokesperson said: “The Royal Borough hosted the national BBC Coronation Concert and had big screens on the Long Walk, with Windsor welcoming thousands of visitors from across the UK and abroad for the Coronation weekend.

"Given Windsor’s high profile national role and focus during the Coronation weekend, DCMS (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) contributed to events staged in Windsor. 

"The council was involved in supporting the planning and delivery of these Coronation events, working with local and national partners to help ensure a safe, smooth and enjoyable weekend.”
