VE Day celebration in Hagley cancelled
A celebration event to mark Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) in May has been cancelled due to the coronavirus.
The Hagley Remembers Party in the Park was set to commemorate the end of the Second World War.
But now it will be cancelled – with bosses hoping to possibly do something later in the year.
Bromsgrove District Councillor Steve Colella, who represents Hagley West, said: "It is with great sadness that I have to announce the cancellation of the planned VE Day 75 celebration ‘Hagley Remembers Party in the Park’ planned for May 8.
"The event has become yet another victim of the coronavirus.
"The working group has listened to Government advice and cancelled the event now.
"We’ll see if we can do something later in the year. I’d like to thank everyone that supported the event to get it this close to a reality."
